An illegal forward pass happens when the QB crosses the line of scrimmage and then passes the ball forward or when a forward pass has been thrown and the player holding the ball passes forward

  The half pass is a maneuver that requires independent aids. Leg, seat and hand work together in accomplishing the same goal, but they are not performing the same tasks. To learn half pass, the rider must first establish a forward, even-paced working trot. It is easiest to start the half pass from a ten meter circle.

  After the circle is complete, keep the horse bent to the inside, but allow him to move forward in a straight line. A driving seat is what will make the horse continue forward motion.

  Apply outside leg pressure, while maintaining the inside bend, to encourage the horse to move sideways. He should be moving away from the outside leg and into the inside rein.

  Your horse's legs should cross over each other if the half pass is being performed correctly. To get back to straight and forward motion, simply apply leg and rein aids together with equal pressure and the horse should return to trotting in a straight line. Start out by trying only a few strides sideways at a time, then straighten out for a few strides, and try half pass again in order to get the horse used to the sideways and forward motion at the same time. Half pass can also be performed at the walk and canter, but trotting the exercise is the easiest way to familiarize horse and rider to the required aids.
