He is awesome with second/third, hits his pocket, listens to rate....but first barrel he keeps trying to shoulder the barrel. I know part of it could be he still thinks it will hurt him, but he's riding so much better. I've done a few drills, and had another rider stand at first which worked....What are some other drills I can do to keep him off the barrel?
