half pass

[_Freedom]

Soooo…
half pass— go forward, turn down c-line with inside leg supporting the horse’s balance. Straight one stride, bend, aid for travers, and off you go. Then lots of inside leg for forward.

Half pass is easy.

It is NOT as hard as everyone is making it out to be. One of the reason I rarely even bother to post anything about dressage either here or UDBB.

Basically if you as a trainer have the total control you should have you can over exaggerate anything or under exaggerate anything as well as all positions in between.

It is call exercising and the testing of the suppleness and obedience of the horse.

I’ll make sure Steffan Peters and Axel Steiner know they have been teaching me incorrectly :rolleyes:

Thanks for showing me the light :sadsmile:

Well, I don’t actually like the way Steffen Peters rides. Alex Stiener I haven’t watched. Is he connected to Betsy Steiner?

DA, we agree the hindlegs do not cross in SI, but you are saying (from what I read) that both fore and hind do not cross in other lateral work, and they DO.

No, I think you might off misunderstood… In ALL lateral work either front or hind or both do cross. This is what I said before:

[QUOTE=Dressage Art;3384617]
Leg Yield - both front and hind legs crossing, no bend, slight outside flexion.
Shoulder in - only front legs crossing, hind legs trot up straight, has bend to the inside.
Renvers - only hind legs crossing, front legs trot up straight, has bend to the outside (hunches out)
Travers - only hind legs crossing, front legs trot up straight, has bend to the inside (hunches in)
Half Pass - both hind and front legs crossing, has bend to the inside.[/QUOTE]

I hate you all.

I spent an HOUR yesterday afternoon trying to teach my little TB to do haunches in. Every muscle in my legs aches.

R/T/HP/LY both ends cross (as per the rules)

A person would have to be either nuts or masochistic to ask a training question on this board (or any other dressage board). it seems to be more about egos than actually trying to help the person who is asking the question.
