what's some good exercises to do for finishing the barrels tighter?
this is something Tipsey and I have struggled with A LOT. we didn't start finishing our turns Til late August. I learned I wasn't taking her in wide enough. I practice taking them out wide going in the turn then when you get 3/4 around the barrel to to put my outside leg on them and put my outside rein on them. in order for you to practice this your horse needs to move off leg pressure and neck rein well. I also go around the barrel twice if she doesn't finish the turn like I want her to. just start at a walk, then trot, and then you move up to a canter. just keep doing that until your horse does that every time. Also over exaggerate EVERYTHING you do in practice. it's taken me this long to finally get her to finish her turns, so baby steps! I hope this helps!!!
