HORSE TRAINING TIPS FOR WINNING Brought to you by: Success Is Easy Horse Training Tips and Techniques, Helpful Hints for Health Care; Plus Business Advice on Making Your Career With Horses a Financial Success USE THE HALF-PASS TO SLOW YOUR HORSE By Don Blazer Copyright©2013 If you want to “slow” your horse at the walk, jog or lope, try this easy, effective exercise. As you walk along, ask your horse to half-pass to the left each time the horse begins to pick up his pace. You don’t have to go far, just a few steps to the side, then straight ahead again. As soon as the horse begins to pick up his pace, half-pass again. If you started half-passing to the left, continue to move in that direction. Have a nice break in schooling before working the exercise and half-passing to the right. Use the half-pass at all three gaits. It won’t be long before your horse is slowing his pace the instant you begin to ask for the half-pass; soon you’ll just have to suggest the “drift to the left” and the pace will slow down.
