Product Information
Full details
The Shires Lunge Line in Navy Blue (8m) is designed for equestrian trainers and handlers needing a reliable tool for ground training. Its key benefit is the soft, tubular nylon web construction that offers a comfortable grip and good control. A minor consideration is that the swivel trigger clip, while convenient, requires proper attachment to prevent accidental disengagement. This lunge line features a durable nylon web, a secure swivel trigger clip for easy attachment to a bit or halter, and a comfortable hand loop for the handler.
