How to Use
- Measure your horse's girth circumference just behind the withers and choose pony or full based on the adjustable ranges above.
- Place the roller over the withers, using a numnah or pad underneath if your horse has prominent withers.
- Fasten the buckles on both sides, tightening evenly so the rings sit level on each side.
- Attach the undergirth and fasten it, then check you can slide a flat hand under the roller.
- Clip side reins or double lunge reins to the ring height that suits your horse's stage of training, starting long and loose.
- Walk the horse forward a few steps, re-check the tightness, then begin your lunging session.
FAQ
What size Waldhausen Lunging System do I need?
Measure around your horse's barrel just behind the withers. The pony size adjusts from 1.75m to 2m and the full size from 2m to 2.45m. Ponies and smaller cobs usually take pony; horses and larger cobs usually take full.
Can it be used with double lunge reins?
Yes. The system is suitable for working with double lunge reins as well as conventional single lunge rein and side rein work.
How many rings does it have?
It has 13 rings, and both sides are adjustable, so you can set side reins at a range of heights and angles.
Do I need a pad underneath?
The roller is padded with thick teddy fleece, but a numnah or pad is sensible for horses with high or sensitive withers, or for longer sessions.
How do I clean it?
Brush off dried mud and sweat after use and let the fleece dry naturally away from direct heat. Check the stitching, buckles and rings regularly.
Is it suitable for beginners to lunging?
The roller itself is straightforward to fit, but side reins and double lunge reins should be introduced under experienced guidance and always started long and loose.
