Improving circles?

My gelding is very straight, which is awesome. His circles however... yuh not so great. I've been trying to get him to work on figure eights but that's more like doing triangles lol.

He does great on the lunge... so I know I'm just not asking right.

Advice?

If he does well on a line... you could have somone lunge him while your on him. That way you get the feel of his body in the circle and he will get the feel of you. Then have them take you off the line. Have them still stand in the center... and you work the same circle he was lunged in. Thats what we do with ours if they have trouble with circles.

I hope it works. We have had to do a lot of this with some horses. They just dont understand the point of goin in a circle. Especially with a rider.
