Lunge Lessons

There are many advantages of taking lunge lessons at Bukit Timah Saddle Club. A lunge lesson focuses on teaching the rider the correct position and posture in the saddle. It is a superb way to teach children and adults who are learning how to ride a horse for the first time. It is one of the safest ways of learning to ride as the horse is controlled by the instructor so the rider is free to concentrate on their balance and rhythm.

For the more advanced rider, it is a great opportunity to focus on positional problems that may have an adverse effect on the way the horse moves. Advanced riders can work without stirrups and reins during a lunge lesson which is a great way to improve balance, confidence and depth of seat.

Advantages of Lunge Lessons:

• Ideal way for beginners to learn their basic balance and position
• Encourages rider to ride with a deeper and softer seat in the saddle
• Improves the rider’s sitting trot
• Improves the confidence and balance of the rider
• Gives the rider the opportunity to focus on correcting their position and posture

• Improves the rider’s effectiveness (influence over the horse)
• Helps the rider develop the ‘feel’ of the horse’s movement
• Teaches the rider to ride independently of the reins
