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. Jane also shows several common mistakes that riders make—and how to correct them—as they are learning the physical coordination and timing needed to ride half halt. This information, combined with listening to feedback from the horse, can help the rider evaluate her progress while learning the half-halt aid.
