[QUOTE="jersey lilly, post: 412599, member: 2258"] Go back to slow work. Walkin and trottin. Set your horse at each end pole, do this for a few days, then gradually start trottin but still stop your horse where you would normally check him for the turn on the end pole. Somethin else we do to keep horses listenin to the rider instead of antisipating what's comin, is take your poles and put three on one side of the arena and three on the other side.....and just at random go thru all of them...from one side to the other...big s's, criss cross, we add barrels in the mix as well. It is somethin totally different for the horse to do, but still leaves room for fun. don't do this at a run....just a trot. In the long run slow work makes a horse faster. Don't work your horse more than 15 or 20 minutes on that , then get out and go ride thru a pasture, or woods....trailride, as long as it's somethin relaxin for the horse and he knows it ain't always about "work".
