Go For It!

Location: Texas		The reason that a lot of horses do that is because WE rate too early. If you are picking up on him too early then he shapes his body for the turn, but since he has already slowed down a bit, he needs to round himself out to keep from hitting the barrel. I like that kind of horse! Your pony isn't a barrel hitter and he is aware of where the barrel is during his turn. By trying to avoid hitting it with his hip he has to over-bend his body and it makes him loose his snap on the backside.

The way to fix this is to ride further to the barrel, so that his hip is at the barrel before you ask him to slow down and turn. Congrats on having one that doesn't want to hit the barrels, some horses won't make up for our mistakes like that. You just need to be brave and run all the way up there and trust him to turn it.

Edited to say... after you get by that barrel pick up that outside rein and use it to "balance" him out and get him in position for the second barrel. You will have to get really quick to do it in time!


Good luck!
