Now that the rider has learned why and how to ride a half halt, Jane Savoie, in this second video, goes further and discusses 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 as a result of carrying itself predominantly with the muscles over its croup, back, and top of its neck. She then shows examples of horses on the bit (as well as not on the bit). Finally Jane explains how a rider can superimpose a half halt over the aids given for different movements in order to keep the horse on the bit.
