By Misha Kizimov Mikhail Kizimov and Lyric perform a correct halt.
Nostrils are on the level of the horse's hip.
The front legs on one line, hind legs are under the body and also on one line. So many riders do not realize the importance of halts in doing tests. Most of the riders pay way more attention to passage and piaffe, forgetting that there are three halts in a grand prix test and five judges. So count to yourself how many points one can win by doing just correct halts. Judges form their first impression by the way a rider executes this first element of a test.
