BHS STAGE 2 Lunge Exam - Tips

[SJH]

Hey, I have my Stage 2 Lunge exam next week... any tips and tricks?

How long is the assessment and what happens if I run over?
Should I do warm up of 3 laps each rein, then work in walk trot and canter for a few laps each rein - then work with the side reins on each rein then cool down for 2 -3 laps on each rein?

Any advice would be really helpful

Presumably this is after a course, so do what the instructors on that have told you. Like most exams it's a case of following whatever is deemed the correct procedure and has little to do with reality. Good luck!

My only advice is ask to your trainer who has been teaching you.
If you lunge a horse you are lunging for a reason so show that reason.
