My mare is bowing running really wide between 2nd & 3rd barrel. This is costing ALOT of time. And tips or training ideas how to correct that. She is a little mare that can turn with zero pocket but i am haveing a hard time getting her up further into the 2nd barrel before she turns which causes more steps around and stepping off the backside running wide to 3rd.

Video would be helpful. Bowing off the second barrel can be from a number of things and can even start with your approach to the 1st barrel. If you come off wide from the 1st, it sets up your 2nd barrel wrong causing your horse to have to step off to get around the turn.

If you are bowing out going to the 3rd, you are not finishing the 2nd right. Look at the tracks to and out of the 2nd, if you are coming in too close that will make you bow. Or you may be just not finishing the 2nd. Are you looking for the 3rd as soon as you get to the back of the 2nd? Practice coming in correctly and then over turning the 2nd. When you make a run it won't over turn, it will be perfect.

Finish your turn. Make her shoulders close the circle and follow suit with your shoulders. Video would be helpful. In mind mind I see not a lot of rate.
