She can pick up the correct lead from a walk. I use my leg to push her hip over, but sometimes she will not swap to the left for the second barrel. I will work on the suggested, and will spend some time with my relative that interned in CA with reining horses. Thank you!

All of mine are well broke and pick up their leads when cued. All have good simple changes. As far as the pattern goes - create a good, balanced horse. In slow work break down and pick up the new lead between 1 and 2. If the new lead cannot be established within 2 strides keep working on it, you're not balanced enough yet. NEVER turn the second barrel on the wrong lead. After a while you should barely need to ask for them to break down and pick up the new lead, they should be anticipating that. The truly athletic smart ones may even be swapping on their own by now. They'll figure it out. There is far too little time and far too much going on to actually cue for a change during a run.

Location: Conroe, TX 77304		the one horse I was lucky enough to go pro on didn't know squat about lead changes. He was just simply athletic enough to run in on the wrong lead then swap as he entered the turn. Won lots of rodeos on him lol!

Thank you, maybe I will just go on with it and forget trying to make sure he is on the right lead.
