Jim uses this exercise to help get more effort and intensity out of a horse in maneuvers.

Jim goes back to the spiral down exercise to see how much Pippin has remembered from the previous day.

Jim focuses on steering and keeping the horse in the bridle after you steer around. He discusses how it also applies to the show pen.

Jim works on getting Pippin in an effective shape to stop. He especially has to work on it with her since she is deaf and can't depend on some of the other cues hearing horses can.

Honey has more of an emotional response when asking for something too quick, so Jim works through staying slow and consistent to get her to turn without getting into an unnecessary resistance. He does steering, go forward and get soft to develop rhythm and relaxation.

Jim addresses some of the weak spots at a show and tries to recreate them so that he can train on that situation.

After going to the show, Jim focuses on making the lope off the release to help make it smooth instead of fast. She has been getting slightly ahead of Jim and trying to anticipate what is happening.

Jim reviews his last run with Flex and addresses some of his trouble spots.

Jim tests out Honey's stop before he takes her to a show. He wants to check in on the run, then make sure she's relaxed in the stopping zone, then check the draw.

Jim prepares Honey for a show and wants to focus on her loping and circles. He wants her to be able to steer, move forward and stay straight when he picks up on her. He also tests speed to know what he has for the show.

Jim is focusing on confidence going to the center of the arena and getting a strong turn around. He tests Pippin's mind to see what to work on and expect in a show setting. 

Jim prepares Flex for a show and focuses on getting the turn before the run down square and sharp. He wants Flex to keep his shoulders up and square as he turns and patient and hones before the roll back.

Jim uses Paisley to show how he starts teaching the stop on a young horse and sets the foundation for the shape and softness needed in reining.

Jim shows the next steps for teaching a horse to stop. He lopes circles and straights and backs up to get the stop to be the release.
