Listen "EP112: Complicating The Half Halt"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode I will explore the elusive, confusing, mystifying mystery known as the half halt - the dressage student’s white whale. Many other teachers have gone before me, claiming to be able to simplify it, demystify it and clarify it but they end up just complicating it. I’m usually pretty good at explaining things… So is this episode going to clarify or confuse or complicate the half halt even more? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out.
