During the Half-pass Forum, 8 documents were added, about once a week, that completed and furthered the initial study. Together, the eight documents constitute a large PDF file. The eight documents complete each other and further the knowledge about the athletic demand of half pass and the body coordination allowing the horse to benefit from the movement.


The study's title is "A different ball game" because half pass, in the light of actual knowledge, is a different ball game. An adequately used half pass is the best exercise for developing the back muscles in the thoracic area. Horses with a hollowed back and difficulty transmitting the thrust of the hind legs forward through the thoracolumbar spine can significantly benefit from half pass. However, the half pass benefiting the horse is not the one described in the judging standards.


This discussion turns around half pass because it is a move that almost everybody performs. However, the movement is approached here from the perspective of tensegrity, integrity. This new level of knowledge explains and clarifies what the equitation of the correct aids cannot understand.


It is not about submitting the horse to the movement. It is about guiding the horse mental a physical research toward efficient orchestration of the horse's physique. Jean Luc Cornille
