Lunging girths - effective groundwork and training support
A lunging girth, also known as a lunge girth, is an essential piece of equipment for groundwork, training and improving your horse’s balance and posture. Whether you are working on young horse development, rehabilitation or refining your horse’s way of going, a well-fitted lunging girth allows you to train with precision and consistency.
At Emmers Equestrian, we offer a carefully selected range of lunging girths designed for comfort, functionality and durability. These girths are equipped with multiple rings, allowing you to attach training aids such as side reins or lunging systems in various positions. This flexibility helps you adapt your training to your horse’s level and specific needs, whether you are encouraging stretch, engagement or straightness.
Modern lunging girths are made from high-quality materials such as nylon, neoprene and soft padding to ensure comfort during movement. Anatomical shaping and adjustable straps provide a secure fit while allowing freedom around the withers and shoulders. A well-designed lunge girth supports correct muscle development without restricting your horse.
Our collection includes trusted equestrian brands such as Eskadron, HKM, Premiere and Waldhausen, and many more premium brands. These brands are known for their reliable construction and thoughtful design, making them suitable for both everyday training and more advanced groundwork sessions.
Choosing the right lunging girth depends on your training goals and your horse’s conformation. Horses that are sensitive may benefit from extra padding, while more advanced training often requires multiple ring options for precise adjustments. Investing in the right equipment helps you train more effectively and supports your horse’s long-term development.
