Travers and half-pass for beginners

“Dressage is for everyone” -Video Training Series
Training video 5 - How to start teaching travers and half-passes for beginners
Hi everyone
Here’s my next training video on how to start to introduce travers and half-pass.
Travers is a movement in which the horses front legs stay on the track and you ask the horses hind legs to come to the inside whilst being bent in the direction of travel.
Half-pass is the same as travers but is across the diagonal.
Unlike leg-yield and shoulder-in however the horse should be bent in the direction of travel and looking where it is going for both travers and half-pass. This can take a long time for the horse to understand and it takes a great deal of suppleness and can take time for the horse to understand this.
Most important thing is that you have a play with it and enjoy watching your horse learn each stage.
Hope you find it useful 😉

This was such a great watch!! I have so much more idea of what to do now as I try to figure these moves out with my horse. Thank you!

When a rider is dyslexic it is so important keep explaining movements simply and clearly… as you have done 😊
