When I do a Shoulder In, I start out on a short side of the arena, come into the corner and just as I start along the long side of the arena, I act like I am going to do a 10 meter circle.
So I bend my horses ribs around my inside leg, and just as my horse starts to move in the "circle" he thinks I am asking him to do - I then ask for the movement down the long side of the arena.
I open up my outside leg, and my outside rein and ask for him to cross over with his front feet.
The hind feet or the rump, shouldn't change.
