"Of course, the first lessons at the lunge line require an assistant. He leads the horse as quietly as possible, and talking to him calmly, with the rein or the cheek piece of the bridle to the envisioned circle line. Once the horse has settled in, the assistant follows him, carrying visibly a lunge whip, in order to maintain the forward motion as soon as he balks."
(1971c; translation: T. Ritter)
