Training

Why is the half-halt mainly confined to dressage? Do other disciplines have their own version of the half-half under a different label?

From time to time I come across a horse that has learned to put its tongue over the bit. This invariably causes the owner significant concern.

REASONED BELIEFS?

Ross Jacobs

Horsemanship

We should believe what we believe because we have been reasoned into it and not just accepted somebody else’s truth. Being reasoned into belief of our principles means we can be reasoned out of them when we discover they are wrong or some better ideas surface.
