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!
Is a surgical used for tying a horse up?
I think you might mean surcingal. This is like a long 'belt' that goes around a horses chest area it can be used to keep rugs on or it can be padded on the whithers with hoops or rings. This is used when lunging and side reins put on. Also in breaking a horse long reins passed through.

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. :)

Your horse bites the lunging whip what do you do He also bucks and rears before he grabs it with his teeth and tries playing tug a war?
Is the lunging whip close to his mouth, because it shouldn't be. Keep it close to his back hooves when lunging. If you have a lead rope while lunging, and the horse tries to turn around and nibble the whip, keep control of him with the lead rope. When he starts bucking and rearing, take this as a sign that he is about to bite the whip. Ignore the bucking and rearing, he will soon see that he doesn't get extra attention from it and stop. When he tries to play tug of war, don't fight with him. Let him have the whip, don't encourage him by playing along. Eventually he will get the idea and drop it. You should look into lunging correctly to make sure that he isn't doing this because of you. Remember that the lunging whip is not to be used on the horse, the horse should only be guided by the whip's position and the sound that it makes. If you have been hitting or tapping your horse with the lunge whip for encouragement, you may be annoying your horse. The thin lunge whip feels like a fly or something tickling the horse if you use it very lightly. Instead of making contact to the horse with the whip, tap the whip on the ground. The sound that the whip makes will tell your horse what to do.

How does lunging affect the horse?
Lunging is one of the first training steps with young horses. It helps them become more coordinated. It is also useful for any age horse for improving the human/horse bond. The human is working with the horse from the ground, asking the horse to do various commands, and the horse and human are at the same level. I think it truly helps both the horse and human learn to trust each other (my personal opinion). It also is definitely useful in strengthening an injured horse, working on flexibility, warms them up, and stretches them out. I personal believe it's one of the most important things a human and horse should do together (AND OFTEN)!
