Abstract
An improved lunging tool utilized to train animals, such as horses. The lunging tool includes a stiffening component inserted into an internal pocket of the body. The lunging tool is configured to attach to a harness or halter on one end and a lunging line or rope on the other end to enable a trainer to lead the animal by both pushing and pulling on the animal. The length of the stiffening component of the improved lunging tool prevents entanglement with the animal's legs if the trainer drops the improved lunging tool.
Claims16
A device utilized for training or exercising an animal, the device comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end;
- a stiffening component disposed within an internal pocket of the body, wherein the stiffening component is configured to have an elongated state and folded stated, whereby in the folded state the stiffening component is comprised of individually separable sections, and wherein a connector is disposed between a first separable section and a second separable section, such that the connector is permanently fixed to one end of the first separable section and wherein the connector is configured to have one end of the second separable section press-fit therein, such that the first and second separable sections do not become separated during lunge training a horse;
- a bolt snap attached to the first end;
- and
- a ring attached to the second end.
A device utilized for training or exercising an animal, the device comprising:
- a body having a first end and a second end;
- a stiffening component disposed within an internal pocket of the body, wherein the stiffening component is comprised of multiple sections and configured to be in an elongated state or separated into a folded or compact state;
- a bolt snap attached to the first end of the body that is configured to be attached to a harness or halter worn on the animal;
- a ring attached to the second end of the body;
- and
- a lung line, leash or rope connected to the ring;
- and
- at least one connector disposed between each of the multiple sections, and configured to provide a press-fit between each connector and an end of each section connecting thereto, such that the press-fit connection and the disposal of the stiffening component within the internal pocket of the body prevents the multiple sections from disassembling during a lunge training with a horse.
