An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
If the horse just stalls out, (slows down, perhaps stopping dead) then move to your right, concentrate on the hips, driving them forward. Ask the horse to move off (again to the left) and take a quick beat before asking for the inside turn again.
Oftentimes, the inside turn can be a real pain to get at first. If you're really having difficulty at this, then the odds are excellent that simply changing the way you carry your hips will help out. Again, carry your hips sideways, don't walk directly at the horse's neck when you want him to turn in. (You walk directly at the head when you want an outside turn.) It will also speed things up immeasurably the quicker you are with your corrections. If the horse turns outside, (when you're thinking "inside") jump like you've been shocked to get him going back the correct way. Finally, pay attention to how fast you "back off" when your horse does something right. Anytime he completes the inside turn correctly, for example, it'll help for you to release your pressure immediately and walk away.
When your horse will consistently turn in toward the center going one direction, it's time to reverse things: Get your inside turns consistently moving the opposite direction before moving on. (rpt)
