Yes, it's called free lunging. It is easiest when you have a round pen, that way you can correct the horse easily if he does something disrespectful. If you do not have a round pen available, a small paddock or pasture would be preferable to a large ring, where the horse could run far enough away to escape pressure.

∙ 13y agoThe average lunge line is about 30' long. There is a reason for this. You want to stay at least that far away from the horse while longing. Horses can get very frisky with kicking out, bucking, rearing or striking out with the front hooves. To be safe you need this much space between you and him. Always use a line that is for longing and not a lead rope or other type of shorter line. The safety of the handler and horse are the most important factors when working with horses.
Another reason for long lunge lines is because, particularly with young horses, but to a certain degree with all age horses, is small circles cause torque on the horses legs and joints and can result in lameness at young ages and early retirement. At slow speeds, short ropes are OK, but when going faster than a walk a large circle is ideal to prevent torque.

How old should a horse be before it is lunged?
some people start training foals at the age of 2 or 3 A foal can be lunged in large circles at the walk at very early ages. However, a foal should not be put on small or fast circles until it is 2 or 3, as small fast circles cause alot of torc on joints, and will damage young horses knees more than it would an adult horse. Even at 2-3, the horse should not be lunged faster than a slow canter on at least a medium sized circle.
How do you tie a horse properly?
Tie a knot where the tail of the rope slips back through theknot's center leaving a loop on the opposite side. If the horse pulls back the knot can be released by pulling the tail of the rope....preventing damage to the horse, rope and whatever the horse was tied to.
