An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
A word of caution regarding getting your turns so quickly, one after another in quick succession: If, as your horse turns in toward you, you see the shoulder closest to you "drag," then it doesn't count toward your 2000 turns. (If he's traveling to the left, he'll turn back in to his left. As he then turns back in to the fence to go the other way, it will be his right shoulder, the one now closest to you, that drags.) If the horse drags through the turn, it doesn't count. That should motivate you to make sure that each turn stays "snappy," that the horse carries himself upright and smartly through his turn. When you begin your count, you'll soon see what I'm describing: As the horse turns back in, he'll lose his forward momentum and sort of drift before slowly completing the turn and moving off. Be on the lookout for this. When it happens, wait for the next sluggish turn and jump right at that lazy shoulder, pushing the shoulder away. Do this one more time – or until your horse moves again with an upright and snappy posture. Remember, we're in the roundpen to change something in his brain – and we're using the exercises to do so. Allowing him to say "yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get to it, ma" is not making the change. Keeping your horse honest through the maneuvers is paramount. (rpt)
