How to Apply the Half Halt In Transitions

How to Apply the Half Halt In Transitions
From training level to grand prix the half halt is one of the most essential tools for the dressage rider, or any rider for that matter. To be able to communicate effectively with your horse to prepare them for transitions, prepare them for the next movement, collect the gait and re balance them there are very few movements in dressage that do not engage the half halt.

In this video submission from dressage trainer Randi Thompson we look at the beginning steps of the half halt and how to teach your horse what it means. Taking the time to lay the foundation of the half halt will pay off immensely as you move up the levels with your dressage horse.
