half-pass

Therefore, the half-pass is much more difficult, requiring greater engagement and collection from the horse.

However, Katharine was finding the half-pass in trot quite difficult.

The half-pass requires more balance, engagement, and collection from a horse than the leg-yield.

The inside hind leg remains engaged throughout the half-pass, and the horse should not lose its rhythm.

The half-pass is usually taught after the haunches-in is well confirmed.

Half-pass: When a horse moves forwards and sideways at the same time, bent in the direction of movement.

Movements still seen today in competitive dressage include the piaffe, passage, and half-pass.

Jennie explained that the travers, or quarters-in, would improve the half-pass.

This is also important when cueing for movements that require bend, such as the half-pass, or pirouette.

This is because the horse is slightly bent in the direction of movement in the half-pass.

Dressages tests now included half-pass at the trot.

He trotted her sideways in a near-perfect half-pass.

The trot half-pass proved rather difficult.

Travers, or quarters-in, really consist of bending the horse exactly as he would be in half-pass, but going sideways.

The half-pass is a lateral movement seen in dressage, in which the horse moves forward and sideways at the same time.

In the half-pass, the horse is bent towards the direction of travel, which is physically much more difficult for the horse.

The leg-yield and half-pass are sometimes confused because they are both movements in which the horse goes forward and sideways.

Katharine replied that she had done shoulder-in and hand had a go at half-pass, but that it hadn't been very successful!

The half-pass is a variation of haunches-in (travers), executed on a diagonal line instead of along the wall.

In this period, the horse learns the most difficult movements such as the half-pass, counter-canter, flying change, pirouette, passage, and piaffe.

The half-pass is commonly seen in dressage tests beginning at the USDF third level.

Rollbacks, rein backs and dressage type maneuvers such as the half-pass may be added and scored.

In half-pass, the volte can be used to establish bend, before asking for a half-pass back to the wall.

However, half-pass, renvers, canter pirouettes, and tempi changes were included, with the highest coefficient on the one-tempis.

It may also be asked after going across the diagonal in half-pass, and then positioning the horse once it reaches the arena wall, instead of straightening.
