Eventers Help Libbys Develop New Training Aid
An
innovative training aid devised by two leading event riders has
been in a range of webbing tack by leading manufacturers Libbys.
The
Lungie Bungie has a strong cord of elastic fitted to the bit with
a triggered connector which has a large ring in the centre The aid
is then fitted to a lunging roller and there are D-rings on each
side which allow for three different tensions.

This new design encourages
equal pressure on both sides of the bit and encourages softness and submission
in the horse without using any force. It is supplied with separate trigger
hooks so that the device can also be used on a saddle while the horse
is being ridden.
The Lungie Bungie
in use
"It is ideal
for use on young horses in their early schooling or on the older horses
who need remouthing," says Clayton Fredericks, who worked on the
idea with his wife, Lucinda.
The Lungie Bungie
is designed primarily for use while lunging but it can also be used on
a horse being ridden. "It allows lateral movement of the head and
is particularly useful and successful when working on the canter,"
he says. "The horses find their balance much more quickly."
"This aid can
also be used when the horse is being ridden or for very short times in
the stable to encourage the horse to develop the muscles enabling it to
find self carriage."
