The back is a required maneuver, so you may as well get paid for it. Cody Crow of No Where But UP Performance Horses shows how he moves a correct-but-unremarkable back into the plus column: asking with the hand and reinforcing with a cluck and leg, then shoving the hip back to the right when it starts migrating left.
