Improving circles?

1300 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  wild_spot
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?

Sounds like you aren't using enough inside leg and pushing him to an open inside rein.

I am also encountering this issue with a new horse of mine whose neck is stiff to the left... I've been doing tons of carrot stretches to the left (mainly because we can't ride due to all this rain!) and she has improved alot.
