Last week we asked our readers how they use longeing for training and exercising their horse. Nearly 800 readers responded, and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 797 respondents, 329 (41%) said longeing is a regular part of their horses’ fitness program. Another 79 respondents (10%) said they longe their horses before riding to work off some excess energy, while 76 individuals (10%) said they only longe young horses or those in training. Sixty-seven respondents (8%) said they only longe their horses in novel situations, such as visiting a new show grounds. The remaining respondents said they do not longe their horses: 127 (16%) said they choose to round pen their horses rather than longeing, and 119 (15%) said they neither longe nor round pen their horses.
