Ima Non Controversial Girl Posts: 4168 Location: where the wind blows	My horse has finally started to run harder this year. He's turning and hunting his barrels awesome except we are stalling on the backside of first and second. A bit on third but not too bad there. What exercises etc help to get him firing better and quicker when leaving the barrel. Thanks.

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	If you run in the rollback style, the horse has to come to a complete stop to rollback. It usually does not show up so much until you add speed. We run in more of a 4 x 4 style around here. More of a butt draggin style. You have less hesitation with it. Look at your video and see what is causing you to hang up.

Saddle pinching. F. Rider not pushing horse far enough into turn and forcing horse into a bind. G. Rider not allowing enough room coming into turn. H. Rider allowing too much room coming into turn. I. Rider using too much inside rein. J. Rider balancing to inside of turn and not sitting square through the turn. K. Horse conformation or style causing nose to pop on backside, hollowing back and losing power. L. Any combination or all of the above. M. Rider not using enough outside rein, outside foot. Those are what I can think of and might be a good starting point. Edited by classicpotatochip 2015-09-14 7:12 AM

After watching your run at the jackpot, when we were back home...I am thinking it may be ...I) Rider using too much inside rein...I noticed that on the first barrel on your first run.
