What is a Half-Halt?

#dressage #riderposition #horses
🐎🥵 Ah, the half-halt - that mysterious component of riding that is so important, yet so confusing! What even is a half-halt? Is it about halting your horse? 🤔 No, actually, half-halting doesn’t have anything to do with the halt! 😱 Half-halts help is rebalance our horses and are also helpful when we need to get their attention. Being able to give an effective half-halt is an essential tool every rider needs to know. 💯 But coordinating all the aids can be tricky! After all, they need to happen in seconds! 🔥 If you need help coordinating your aids for the half-halt, check out my Free Rider Position mini-course: amelianewcombdressage.com/fre...

When I was younger, one of my favourite horse books was Pony club secrets by Stacy Gregg. One of the books focuses on dressage and describes a half halt in a very similar way. I'd love to go back and reread those books now that I have some experiences with horses.
