About this video

Having focused on holding Gigolo with her seat in the first part of this lesson and allowing the neck out more (the subject of another video), Claire works on the half pass with Olympian Laura Bechtolsheimer. Laura provides a crystal clear explanation of how to apply the aids and ride the movement, so that Claire doesn't block Gigs or give him anything to 'get stuck' on. "The neck needs to be longer to allow the hind leg to step under and the front end to come up more", says Laura. "Imagine you are riding travers against a wall on a diagonal line". Claire and Laura also work on walk pirouettes plus canter where Laura wants to see a living, breathing contact.

VickiF 13 Oct 2010 Again, a really fab useful video for us all. Laura gives no-nonsense, direct, clear instruction. The difference is very noticeable when Claire gives with her hand and Gigolo is stunning. Well done!
BekB 11 Jul 2010 Very interesting. Well done Claire. I don't ride anywhere near your level (I'm just a happy hacker taking a few tentative steps to a more technical world!), but I know it takes a huge leap of faith to let go infront and work from your seat but when you do thinks become a lot more free for you and your horse.
happy_talk 20 May 2010 Brilliant video- it's really useful to see "problems" and Laura to identify them and explain how to overcome them. Thank you!
Claire Gallimore 15 May 2010 Hi It's Claire! Gigs is 14.2 hh or 148cm.
Merlin1997 15 May 2010 Great to see Laura teaching, lucky Claire! How big is the lovely Gigolo?
