The half halt

[goodtimes]

How do you do it?

I was taught by my dressage trainer to put my lower leg on, pull in my tummy muscles, shouders back and gently squeeze my outside rein with my hand then release.

I think I over do it with the hand though.

What u were taught sounds right to me. The amount of hand you use depends on the amount of half halt you need. If you need a strong one then a stronger hand hand if a little one just to adjust say then just a light use of rein
