An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
The next thing you'll do (or the first, if you've got that aggressive horse mentioned above) is to nail your outside turns. When you began, an outside turn would have been easy. Your horse was probably dying to turn away (read: run away) from you. But, we've just taught him to turn in and that's what he'll expect you to be asking for the first few minutes. Those who begin with inside turns should expect this behavior when transitioning to outside turns and vice-versa.
What you'll do to get your outside turns is to simply change the way you carry your hips: Now you'll be walking at the horse's head, concentrating on driving it with your body language into the fence or wall. Note here that if your horse is going 87 million miles an hour around in a circle, asking for an outside turn (when it's new to him) is just asking for trouble. Back off a tad and allow the horse to slow a bit, then walk toward the front end of the horse, pushing it into the fence/wall. (You may need to begin this "pressure" half a round pen away if the horse is traveling at a good clip. Give them time to know it's coming, don't spring it on them.) Sometimes it helps to raise your hand and motion toward the horse head, sort of "pointing it" toward the fence. With the inside turn you were, in effect, backing away, inviting the horse's head and neck with your body. With the outside turn your walking toward the front of the horse. You only need to do about ten outside turns either direction and your horse should have it down pat. Just watch to see how well he's reading your body language. If you can make a rather subtle move and the horse correctly reads it as a request for a inside or outside turn, then you know he's got it. (rpt)
