An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
To ask for an inside turn, get the horse circling (let's say to the left, so counterclockwise). As the horse comes around, sidestep to your left, being careful to keep your hips parallel to the horse. (Important point: swiveling your hips the opposite direction (basically, walking naturally toward the oncoming horse) is a common error and has the effect of driving the front of the horse into the fence instead of inviting him away from it. So, in a nutshell, when asking for an inside turn, this is correct: Sidestepping toward the path of the oncoming horse. This is wrong: Walking directly at the horse's head/shoulders)
It helps to extend your left hand (in the counterclockwise case described above) toward the fence, as if "peeling" the horse away from the fence as it approaches. If your horse turns into the fence (an "outside turn" which is what we don’t want now) then quickly move to your right, and ask the horse to turn back to the proper direction. At that point you should let the horse go one half turn around the pen before asking again. This will give you a moment to collect your thoughts and, perhaps more importantly, keep you from just running about like the proverbial headless chicken. It'll keep you proactive rather than reactive. (rpt)
