How to Use
- Measure around your horse's girth line, just behind the elbow, and choose Pony or Full so the measurement sits mid-range.
- Place the roller over the back with the fleece padding sitting evenly either side of the spine, over a pad or numnah if preferred.
- Fasten the buckles on both sides, tightening a hole at a time so the roller sits level and snug without pinching.
- Fit the undergirth and check you can slide a flat hand beneath the roller.
- Attach side reins or double lunge reins to the ring height that suits the horse's stage of training, starting long and shortening gradually.
- Walk the horse forward for a few strides, then re-check the girth before beginning work.
FAQ
What size lunging roller do I need for my horse?
Measure around the girth line behind the elbow. The Pony size adjusts between 1.75m and 2m and the Full size between 2m and 2.45m. Choose the size where your measurement falls near the middle so there is room to adjust either way. Cobs and wide-barrelled natives usually need the Full size.
Can I attach side reins to this roller?
Yes. There are 13 rings for side reins at different heights, plus an undergirth with its own ring for a low attachment point.
Is it suitable for double lunge reins?
Yes, the ring arrangement is suitable for working with double lunge reins as well as conventional single-rein lunging.
Do I need a pad underneath the roller?
The roller is padded with thick teddy fleece, but many riders still use a pad or numnah underneath for extra protection, particularly on horses with high or prominent withers.
How do I clean the roller?
Allow mud and sweat to dry, brush the teddy fleece out, then wipe the nylon with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
What is the roller made from?
The body is hardwearing nylon with thick teddy fleece padding, and it measures 10cm wide.
