INTRODUCING THE TROT HALF-PASS

The half-pass is the most demanding of the lateral movements and its aim is to develop the suppleness in the quarters, improve the lateral bend and develop the responsiveness to the aids. This lesson focuses on some specific warm-up exercises at Elementary/Medium level that will develop the areas that need to be at their peak to produce a correct and accurate half-pass in trot.

Your trainer for this lesson is Kim Ratcliffe, a British Dressage trainer and List 1 Dressage Judge.
