Wanted to add that I think a lot of the tips you have given me will be more helpful once I am better about not resorting to pulling and just letting him figure things out based on my body first...when we are ready to add more finesse!!!

So just to update, everyone's tips were very helpful!!!! We worked on it quite a bit in my lesson today (my trainer really loves having us do shoulder in on a circle and is thinking it's time to start adding travers on a circle but *I'm* just not there yet).

I have four...one is from 2012 and the other three are from this year. Love them all (I get cob sized for my guy)...can't imagine switching to another brand

My big goal is to work on my geometry...my horse is a foundation bred stock horse and not a fancy mover, so we need to be super correct. I am going to my first show that includes dressage this weekend, then a horse trial in December. Maybe a dressage show in November, haven't decided on that yet sin...
