Breaking It Down: Half-Halts at the Posting Trot

In this clip JJ explains how to half-halt during the posting trot while maintaining suppleness and impulsion. It is important to work on our timing and rhythm as riders in order to be effective during the half-halt.

I feel the horse that I practice with is so fast when trotting. Is it because I did not sufficiently squeeze my thighs? would you mean squeezing the knees do not steer the horse, instead this can tell the horse to slow down? thanks

Try controlling your post with your core. Hold it a millisecond longer at the top to post slower. That is often enough to slow the horse down.
