Halt to trot? Has anyone got any tips on how to get a horse from halt to trot more easily?

Answers from HayHay's experts

This transition involves a big contrast, so it asks for good ridability, relaxation and responsiveness. Build up the horse's sensitivity to the aids gradually, and it is worth adding a voice command while it learns. If it feels tricky, it is always a good idea to get help from a coach who can support you and the horse in person. 💫
