An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
The round pen is where you start - or "re-start" - a horse. It's where you begin training babies and green horses; it's where you begin with an older horse with lousy ground manners or flawed "riding training;" it's the place where you first take control. If you'll recall Helen Keller was a (now famous) deaf, dumb and blind girl who had exasperated all who had tried to work with her. She was completely out of control, throwing temper tantrums and the like - until they found a small and simple way to begin communicating with her. They poured water over her palm and began pressing on her hand, spelling out the word "water," or so the story goes. The round pen offers us the same beginning. By beginning to control the horse's feet in the simplest fashion, we begin to gain control. By consistently getting the feet - and later getting the feet to move in our chosen direction - we instill in the horse an understanding and partnership. The horse's nature is such that "somebody's gotta be in control." It's either you, your horse, or another horse (for instance, when they charge off with their buddies on the trail, ignoring your requests to slow down). Some horses naturally believe it's their job, others will assume the top spot only if they feel you to be weak. Either way, you have two options: Be the boss or get bossed. (rpt)
