Poles on a diagonal line to improve the horse’s leg-yield and half-pass
Young Team GB Dressage Rider and MicroPerformance Sponsored Rider, Lewis Carrier shares his Leg-Yield and Half-Pass Training Techniques:
Place poles on a diagonal line across the school
- Use the poles as a guideline to keep the horse on a consistent, straight angle
- Concentrate on pushing the horse off of the inside leg, into the outside rein
- Start by practicing leg-yields, with young horses
- Move up to the half-pass, more suitable for better trained horses
- Ending with the canter half-pass
- Once the horse is established, poles can be removed
