Teaching the Half Halt

[@rosalindpaterson2043]

This is a tricky technique to demonstrate; Do you press your seat-bones into the saddle (saddle pad) while tightening core and pressing thighs? The top line of that horse is very supple; I wish I had a more secure yard to use a bitless bridle:)

Hi Rosalind and Welcome! Yes and no. If taught properly, it is a simple technique however many building blocks need to be in place for both horse and rider for this to work well. Please keep in mind that this video is a snippet, sneak peak, of the full length - which gets into more detail. To answer your question, no, I do not use, teach or recommend applying weight to the seat bones.
