Description

The Half Halt – Demystified, Jane Savoie

Jane Savoie demonstrates the four requirements—forward, straight, rhythm, and contact—that must be solidly understood by both horse and rider before attempting a half halt. She then breaks down the half halt into its individual elements and shows the rider why and how to use it. Her fresh and innovative approach to teaching this often misunderstood aid to balancing the horse will help all riders, many of whom may have struggled with the concept for years.

In Part 1, the rider learned why and how to ride a half halt; in Part 2, Jane Savoie goes further and discusses exactly when to use the half-halt aid. One of the biggest whens is when to put the horse on the bit, and she demonstrates the many benefits gained: your horse will become more obedient, more graceful, and more athletic. Finally, Jane explains how a rider can superimpose a half halt over the aids given for different dressage movements. Her fresh and innovative approach to teaching this often misunderstood aid will help all riders, many of whom may have struggled for years.
