It sounds (and looks) like he tries really, really hard and loves to please. If you were having one of those days where nothing works, he may have also been getting really frustrated and rather than stopping, lost his confidence in his ability to please you, so only tried to do what he saw as safe. <br /><br />A fun exercise for practicing turns and straight lines is to make a square with a jump stand in each corner, and put a fence on the diagonal out from each corner \_/ then you work around the grid. It's really good as you can make the lines away and towards the grid longer or shorter as needed and the horses cannot anticipate the distance as easily as they can with a set line.

New trainer just got sponsored by Voltaire and I am intrigued by them. I didn't even consider them with Houston bc they wouldn't send a rep to me.
