EP 193: Best Of HTIH: Complicating Half Halts

Horse Training in Harmony

This episode re-introduces a popular episode from the archives about the famous (infamous) half halt. The half halt is an important concept in dressage - AND it’s a term I actually rarely use. I get a lot of questions about it, and anyone who has studied dressage or has taken dressage lessons has been asked to do a half halt. If you’ve ever been confused about what a half halt is or how to do it, keep on listening to this original episode on half halts.
