An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps [Downloadable PDF version]":
At some point he'll stop coming any closer. (Note: If your horse doesn't want to come any closer, it could very well be because he's still a little scared of you - which is exactly why petting the horse often, letting it know that you're not going to hurt it, is important.) When this happens, there are three good fixes. First, as soon as he gets "as close as he's going to get," turn abruptly on your heels and walk away like you don't give a hoot. Don't try to pet him, instead act nonchalant. Hang out on the other side of the arena for about thirty seconds. This simple act piques the horse's curiosity and causes him to actually step in closer. Second, (and this always works), walk towards his hip, asking it to creep forward as you did earlier - then try the same thing on the other side. Alternate moving the horse from the left then the right, easing him forward. You may find it more expedient to concentrate more on one side than the other, but you get the idea: Causing him to cross the back leg closest to you in front of the other causes him to creep forward - whether he wants to do so or not. Finally, fix number three is simply this: Try sending the horse back out and around with more speed. Oftentimes his increased momentum will break the stand-off, bringing him in closer. (rpt)
