I was reminded of this topic from my winter goal (canter HP improvement!) and exvet's post. My mare can easily do 10 m (even 6 m ) canter circles in both directions, shoulder-fore towards shoulder in canter both ways, travers at canter both ways. But try to move that bend in a half pass and we only have a few good strides. I do use the c-HP 3-4 strides to shoulder fore to turn around and repeat. I like our work better on attempt 3 than attempt 1

Tips and suggestions? I *think* my aid for half pass is shoulder-fore + sit into the bend/direction. I don't do a lot with my outside leg besides "guard." Maybe I am sitting in too much and she thinks that means sideways, not forward/bend/sideways/foreward/bend? Sometimes I do warm up in canter travers to get things moving and bending some way, some how.
