On this page, you'll find the lunging girths we offer.
A well-fitting lunging girth is an essential part of any lunging equipment. It not only supports your training goals but also ensures that your aids are delivered clearly and comfortably to your horse. Whether you're working on balance, relaxation, muscle building, or therapeutic groundwork – the right lunging girth lays the foundation for effective, horse-friendly training.
In this category, you'll find a selection of high-quality lunging girths, including the updated Barefoot Lunging Girth and the specially developed Barefoot Therapy Lunging Girth, both designed with the horse’s well-being as the highest priority.
A lunging girth allows you to attach training aids – such as double reins or long lines – without needing a saddle. Ideal for:
Working with double reins or long lines
Therapeutic work or seat exercises
Ground training focused on balance and muscle development
A good lunging girth distributes pressure evenly across the horse's back without putting strain on the withers or spine. This allows for gentle, effective training focused on movement, suppleness, and cooperation.
The Barefoot lunging girth is specially designed to give your horse maximum spine clearance during lunging. What makes this girth unique is the built-in pommel, which – just like in a Barefoot saddle – keeps pressure off the withers. This prevents pinching or discomfort, something that unfortunately still occurs with many traditional lunging or vaulting girths. We call this freedom from the “nutcracker effect.”
Features of the Barefoot Lunging Girth:
Wither clearance: Thanks to a correctly sized pommel
Multiple rings: At various heights for versatile attachment of aids
Anatomically shaped: For a secure and comfortable fit
Soft padding: Prevents chafing or pressure points
Great fit: Suitable for many different horses
Whether you're working on posture, coordination, or communication – this girth gives your horse the freedom and comfort to truly relax and engage.
The Therapy Lunging Girth is an adapted version of the classic Barefoot lunging girth, specially designed for therapeutic purposes and seat training. Instead of a pommel, this version features a sturdy central handle. This makes it possible for a rider to sit securely and stably on the horse while being led from the ground.
What makes this girth stand out is the absence of the typical “nutcracker effect” found in many standard lunging or vaulting girths, where pressure is concentrated painfully on the withers. Thanks to its smart design, the withers remain completely free, and pressure is evenly distributed across the back.
Benefits of the Barefoot Therapy Lunging Girth:
Strong central handle: For support during seat training
No pressure on the withers: Horse-friendly and safe
Ideal for rehabilitation, therapy, or balance work
Comfortable fit for both horse and rider
This girth is an excellent choice for therapists, instructors, and riders looking to build confidence and physical awareness – for themselves or their horse – step by step.
When choosing a lunging girth, your horse’s comfort should come first. A girth that fits well, doesn’t pinch, and allows freedom of movement contributes directly to relaxation, suppleness, and effective training. Whether you opt for the versatile Barefoot lunging girth or the specialized therapy version – you’re always choosing comfort, quality, and horse welfare.
