Descriptions of the Half-Pass: The half-pass is a lateral movement where the horse moves both straight and sideways simultaneously along an imaginary diagonal line.
The horse is bent towards the motion around the rider's inside leg. The neck is bent so that the horse's outside ear is on the same line as the inside shoulder and the head is at the vertical. The horse should be slightly bent round the inside leg of the rider in order to give more freedom and mobility to the shoulders. Unlike the easier leg-yield, the horse is bent in the direction of travel, slightly around the rider's inside leg. ___________________________________ Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
