How do you lunge a horse over poles?
Assuming you have already lunged your horse without poles and they are comfortable with it, you simply add the poles on the ground and lunge as you normally would. The horse will naturally try to avoid stepping on the poles. You can vary the distance between the poles to get your horse to lengthen or shorten his or her strides. Start easy and at a walk until the horse gets the hang of it. This may take many days. Very gradually work up to a trot or canter and more difficult distances and patterns. Lunging is a real workout for the horse so don't try to do too much too quickly.
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.
How old should a horse be before you lounge them?
I would recomend to start lunging when the horse is three years old. If you do it any younger it can be hard on the horses muscles. If you want to do it younger than three then it's better to do a free lunge if you can. (Doing it without the lead rope). Hope I helped!

What supplise do you need for a horse?
You will need grooming supplies including brushes and hoof picks. You'll need tons of buckets for food and water, training equipment such as a lunge line and lunge cavesson are recommended.

What would you use to train your horse with out having to mount it?
Well non-mounted training is called ground work. I'd use a lunging kit ( Surcingle, cavesson, lunge line, and lunge whip) To work it in a frame, then free lunge in a round pen for bonding exercises. Also long lining the horse would be good. Bomb proofing is fun from the ground and trail courses too. Also don't forget that you can pony the non-ridden horse from the back of another more experianced horse.

Why should you not lunge a horse for any longer than 35 min's?
I don't see any reason to not lunge a horse for any longer than 35 minutes. When I was breaking in my horse (training her), we'd spend over two hours on a lunge line. The only thing I can see wrong with that would be to lunge a horse at a full gallop or canter for a while. It would tire the horse out and could do serious damage if he or she were to overheat from extended periods of work.
