All about Half-Halts Workshop

"Half-halt, half-halt, half-halt!!!" Your trainer keeps yelling over and over again to half-halt. You're trying to listen but you really have no clue what a half-halt is, what you should be doing with your body, or the result you want!

Half-halts are one of the MOST mysterious and complicated concepts in riding!

Why?

Well for one, a half-halt has NOTHING to do with halting! And the aids for a half-halt are different on each horse depending on their temperament and level of training.

Every rider needs a half-halt in their toolbox, without an effective half-halt, you cannot communicate with your horse! With an effective half-halt, you can get your horse's attention, you can gather and control your horse's energy for transitions, turns, lateral movements, and you can rebalance your horse onto the hind end.

• The definition of a half-halt so you know exactly what your trainer is telling you.

Half-halts are an essential part of controlling and balancing your horse's energy. The tricky part about half-halts is that they require feel and they are different on each horse.
