The green three-year-old told on himself in the pattern, drifting off the fence and leaning into the middle of the pen at the top of his left lead. Cody Crow of No Where But UP Performance Horses sets him up to make the same mistake on purpose, then shows the fix: picking him up and counter-cantering to the outside of the circle until the horse softens, holds himself up and gets accountable, then rewarding him with the easy straight line. He explains how to organize make-the-wrong-thing-hard in a way that actually makes sense to a horse, and why anticipating the turn is a man-made problem — because riders in an arena are always on a circle. A semi's air brake going off mid-lesson gets a shrug rather than a scolding, since that's exactly what happens at a horse show.
