An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
Again, your goal is to keep the horse in one place, to not scare him so much that he takes off, but to get a little reaction out of him each time. But what to do if he scoots away? If he moves off just a few steps, you'll simply ask for an inside turn, bring the two eyes back onto you and start again. Be on the lookout, though, for the horse that moves off then pauses as if he's thinking "maybe I should stay." That's a very good sign. Our lesson is starting to sink in; he's thinking. When that horse returns to you make sure you praise profusely. If he takes off and makes it a quarter turn or more around the pen ask for an inside turn and be careful to bring him back in the direction from which he took off. (That is, if he takes off to your right, don't allow him to return from the left following a run around the ring. Make him turn inside and come back from your right.) If he tears off at a million miles an hour, let him go, but push him through several rotations. Make him understand that dodging off is not the answer, in fact, it means more work. Dissuade this with a handful of laps around the pen. Be very careful to not allow your horse to get in the habit of simply running a lap, then coming back to you. That's not going to force change in his mind. (rpt)
