What your half-halt actually needs to work.
The warm-up exercise I use in almost every session.
A closed hand buys nothing. The horse just gets shorter, not slower.

Contact is not about a stronger hold. It is about a connection the horse chooses to keep.
What’s inside
The word. Why it matters. How to feel the difference. The exercise. What success feels like. When to use it. Where it sits on the scale.
