Round Pen Lesson: Teaching a Horse to Turn In
Why is it important to turn in? You never want to turn a horse away from you. You never want the horse thinking that the relief comes from the outside of the circle-- relief should come from you. It also translates well outside of the round pen, especially when you go to catch your horse! In this video lesson, Jim explains why he prefers most horses to make their turns toward him when round penning instead of away from him. He teaches Sandy, a quarter horse who has been allowed to turn to the outside, to turn to the inside.
