I agree entirely Heather it is the same movement ( the horse traveling in the way it is facing) half pass, renver, traver all the ame just the name changes in relation to where the horse is in the arena. I was just having a rushed and "bruised brain" moment. Perhaps it is because I am working on renvers with both Romeo and Dancer at the moment it was on my mind rather than the travers I was looking for ho hum. never mind.

I always find canter work outside of the school hacking helpful, especially if you have a decent uphill track as we are lucky enough to have. Helps get them relaxed and going forward and opening up whilst working through from behind, but again echo pole exercises. I have a trotter x mare who has been finding canter really tricky and using hacking and poles she is gradually improving

As promised most sincere heart-felt apologies to Heather and others for me doing inadequate searches Even google it and you will not come up with any other spelling When I googled "cheval renvers" yesterday the first PAGE of suggestions on Google search referred to the Kama Sutra. I didn't look any further .... When I switched the order (this morning) to "renvers cheval" the answers are altogether different I think I'll just stick to English from now on! ;D
