An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
Keep the horse moving consistently in the same direction, at the same speed. Each time he turns on his own, turn him back to the direction you'd chosen (more on how you'd do that coming up); each time he slows down, speed him back up to the speed you've chosen. Always get yourself back into "neutral" (the center, looking ahead, seemingly ignoring the horse) as quickly as possible.
Our goal at this step is simply this: The horse must learn that we expect him to trot around (or move in whatever gait we've chosen) the round pen, without our continual prompting. We don't ask a finished horse to trot and then continually ask him to trot, right? No, we don't. We expect him to begin trotting and then trot until asked to change gait. Same thing here. When your horse will consistently circle you (let's say three full rounds) without breaking stride, you can move on. This sounds simple (and it is) but you'll be pleasantly surprised to see your horse go from not understanding this easy concept ("keep doing something") to suddenly "getting it." Smile, you've just taken the first step toward a full partnership with your horse. (rpt)
