Over the past couple of decades, I've heard just about every myth,
half-truth, and truth about longeing. I've read a lot of good books
about longeing, but few talk at any length about longeing the
rider. Overall, this subject, I believe, is a little misunderstood
in the United States. We think of it as a way to habituate children
to horseback. It's common in beginning lesson programs, both for
the young and the not-so-young. But once riders can sit the trot
and canter competently on the longe line, we set them free. Often
adult riders plateau--they remain permanently at, say, first level
in dressage, or in the same height class in the hunter ring. Some
adults get stuck emotionally, battling back the same old fears
every time they ride. Longeing the adult rider is the perfect way
to work over and beyond those
inevitable places you can get stuck in with your riding. While you
certainly can--and should--longe young riders, my focus here is on
helping adults. We all develop habits, especially those of us who
ride by ourselves. Building in longeing sessions breaks up the
riding routine and helps us conquer those automatic physical
responses we develop when we don't have an instructor yelling at us
all the time. It's also an opportunity to invite a friend over for
a low-key horse date.
