am i missing something?

[kerrylou123]

Is there such thing as full pass (ridden or in hand)??

Have just been talking a girl who 'says' she has been doing in hand dressage with her horse, and has taught it 'full pass'!

I do dressage myself to a certain level, and ride half pass etc etc, but have never heard of full pass?!?!

The horse as in half-pass is bent into the direction of movement but does not move forwards at all, it moves sideways only.

 

[kerrylou123]

is it ridden in dressage tests?

 

[pixie]

I've never heard of it being ridden before. I think it just "exists", as in someone has named the movement, and is not necessarily actually ever used in tests.

 

[kerrylou123]

o right, well thanks for clearing that up for me Pixie!

 

[pixie]

No problem

This link will tell you all about it:

Half pass does appear in dressage tests but not until you ride at Medium or higher. Below is a link to a dressage test that incorporats Half Pass:

I hope this helps.

I can't see anything about Full Pass in the links you've posted Toby

.

I'm not a dressage guru so I have never heard of it before.

it is a western move i so believe that has to be performed in some of the classes but definetly not a pure dressage movement

LOL!! I don't show western so still have never heard of it before. There's my learning something new today.
