Lungeing
Lunging or lungeing (Longeing in the USA but pronounced "lungeing") uses a lunge line, usually about 25 to 30 feet long. A lunge cavesson consists of a heavy, padded noseband, metal rings to attach the lunge line, a throatlatch & sometimes additional straps. Cavesson use is commonly associated with dressage & is designed to allow more subtle communication between handler & horse. All available from Beaver horse shop in Harrogate.
