Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	Any tips for keeping my hand on my horses neck when I ask him to turn in a run? I have a bad habit of taking my hand out instead of keeping it in.

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	I have the same issue and I am always mindful of my hand position and keep it touching the neck when practicing drills or any kind of turn really.

Sorry I don't have any advice Posts: 1975 Location: Sunnyland Florida	Visualization before you ride/run/practice. Works great!

Expert Posts: 1515 Location: Illinois	I'm a little different and pull to my pocket, but what has worked best for me in the past is to just think about pulling to my pocket the whole way. I've found that kicking & sitting where I need to are automatic, I don't need to think about them. So I can just run up to the barrel thinking "pocket,hand,pocket,hand" the whole way and it works. Usually after a few runs I can stop focusing on that & worry about other things

I remember that trick! I'll have to try that tonight.
