FAQ
What is a lunge coupling used for?
It connects the lunge line to both sides of the bit or headcollar so the contact is shared rather than pulling on one ring only, which many riders find gives a steadier feel when lunging.
What is the Waldhausen Lunge Coupling made from?
It is made from 100% polyamide and fitted with two carabiners.
Will it fit my horse or pony?
The coupling connects between the two bit or headcollar rings rather than fitting the head itself, so it works across most pony, cob, full and warmblood sizes. If your horse has a particularly wide or narrow jaw, check that both clips reach comfortably without tension.
Can I use it with a headcollar instead of a bridle?
Yes. The carabiners can be clipped to the side rings of a well-fitted headcollar or to bit rings, depending on how you prefer to lunge.
How do I clean and check it?
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect the webbing, stitching and carabiner springs before every session and replace it if you see fraying or a clip that does not close fully.
Is a lunge coupling the same as a chambon or lunging aid?
No. A coupling simply links the lunge line to the bit or headcollar. It does not influence the horse's outline in the way a training aid such as a chambon or lunging system does.
