Half pass

does not belong to the high school which "starts" with Piaffe. Some consider canter pirouettes amoung the high schools. Thyl Engelhardt 213.70.217.172 (talk) 14:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

History

..., and particularly from the military horsemanship of the post-medieval ages when knights attempted to retain their battlefield preeminence by shedding heavy armor and learning to manoeuver quickly and with great complexity on a firearms-dominated battlefield.[2]

Maybe, though there are military roots in virtually all forms of horsemanship. See horses in warfare. As for the specific details, it came from a legitimate source, properly footnoted. (I didn't add it, though) If you want to change the material, per wikipedia guidelines at WP:V and WP:CITE, you need another published source that is as credible...usually these things are worded to say something like "some experts originally said X, but more recent studies say Y." If you want to just explain what you mean here, maybe we can dig up some source material that matches it. I know what is probably needed is some long treatise on the history of horsemanship since Xenophon, but for this particular article, that may be too long.

Schweiftasche - tail bag

the queue is fixed in a tail bag (Schweiftasche). Hausberger (Chief Rider, Spanish Riding School). Sorry for my bad english!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conversano Isabella (talk • contribs) 12:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

A good close up photo of a modern horse would be useful for explaining this in English. From the paintings, it looks like a "mud tail" with a fancy ribbon to me! (smile). Montanabw^(talk) 00:31, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Would you mind explaining who you are? Conversano Isabella (talk) 11:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Conversano Isabella (talk • contribs) 11:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I have a user page. That contains all I care to reveal about myself on wikipedia beyond the content of my edits and talk page discussions. I find that people who tout their resumes and discuss how important they are often are those with the weakest resumes to offer. We are all here to write an encyclopedia with information that can be independently verified from reliable sources. Though first hand experience with something can help catch errors in articles and provide direction for work, our personal expertise means much less than the quality of our contributions to wikpedia that matters. Hope that helps. Montanabw^(talk) 01:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

High School

Half pass and flying change is not a High School movement! We in the SRS consider one-tempi-changes as a High School movement, even if it is not classical (because the movement is not natural), but it needs a scilled rider. --Andreas Hausberger (talk) 20:04, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
