When can you start to lunge your horse?
You need a lunge lead, connect this to the horses halter and walk your horse into a lunge ring. You need a whip. Give your horse a gentle whip to make it start walking then keep it going round, give commands to trot, if it does not trot, whip it again then make it go the other way. Then give command for canter etc; you need to stand at least 20 feet away from the horse and make sure that you only lunge your horse for around 20 minutes to 30 minutes otherwise it tires them out for riding. If your horse is flighty lunge it before riding. Lunging is used to make horses quiten and make them get out energy before riding purpopses. Remember it is always a good idea to put boots on a horse when lunging becasue they are more likely to have a brushing injury. Stay in the center of the ring while the horse runs in circle around the fence. You need a lunge line and a gentle whip. You attach the lunge line to the horse's halter or bridle and gradually give them more distance between you and them. I would start out with a trot, then canter, then trot, then a cool-off walk. Each one should take from 25-30 minutes.

What is the best way to train a horse to lunge?
you can walk round in a lunge sized circle as you would lead a horse in-hand normally. and over a period of time increase the distance between you and the horse. when you first begin lunging the horse, use word aids that you usually do for lunging (walk on, trotting on etc) and coax the horse to do the action like you normally would when you are leading in hand. this is only one of many methods. lunging in tack is advisable, because it is easier to break a horse in when it already used to the fell of tack. :)
