Dressage teacher Jane Savoie explains that there are many variations of the basic half halt. In this video she teaches the “connecting half halt” to help put your horse on the bit. Ruth Hogan-Poulsen demonstrates.

The most adorable and amazing dressage freestyle I have ever seen! I LOVEEE this! =DDD I did the filming so I’m sorry if it’s not that great… ENJOY! So anyways, I went to Las Vegas for the 2009 Worl Cupp and it was AMAZING!

If your horse… Won’t stand still Won’t move over when you ask him to Won’t back up when you ask him to Rushes forward when you only ask for one step Dances sideways when you try to get him to stop Swings his hindquarters away when you try to go past his shoulder Won’t let you change sides Gets in front of you when you’re leading him Is spooky and prancy Charges past you through small gaps Hits you with his head while you’re leading him Hangs on the bit when you’re riding him… Then this video is for you! This video will give you exercises to do to help your horse be calmer, lighter, and more responsive. The exercises will challenge his balance and help him find better control of his posture and feet. When your communication becomes really specific, your horse will have to listen really carefully to understand what you want. If you reward him for focusing with a click and treat, you’ll seen have a horse who is as easy to steer, whether you’re taking 1 step or many, and who stops as easily as he moves out.
