LUNGING OVER POLES MADE EASY 

This work is doing wonders with my ottb as well

It does all depend on the horses workload and fitness at the time, I would say maybe 10 minutes less than the time you ride for? I usually ride my horse for 30 minutes ish when schooling/ poles.. but when lunging over poles I would do about 20 minutes , 10 minutes on each rein including all the warm up, and cooling down. It really does depend on your horse and how much work they're usually doing, but i thought I'd let you know how I adjust timing for reference :) Also, the horses usually let you know when they're getting tired and had enough, if they're starting to trip over poles or look like they're getting tired, then they've usually had enough and might need to cool down.

it depends completely on the fitness of the horse but around 20 mins I would say with lots of walk and rest for the horses would be suitable, and not working over the poles the whole time.

It think it’s also depends on how much the horse is having to think and learn new stuff . I do 5 mins warm up, 20 mins work, 5 mins warm down
