[QUOTE="hayray, post: 334258, member: 3046"] Start with the horse standing paraelle to the long side of the rail (this allows the rail to be a blocker to stop the hind end from swinging out) and ask the horse to turn the by moving the forehand around one step at a time. If you don't do it one step at a time it is real hard to stop the hind end from swinging out and loosing your pivot point. You are trying to finish up facing the opposite direction on the rail that you started from - doing a half turn or a 180 degree turn. So basically you are asking the initial turn to start by directing both reins in the direction of desired movement - leading (inside rein) is more of an open rein and the outside rein ends up against the wither like a indirect (neck) rein. If any leg is used it will be the outside leg used behing the girth to block the hind end from swinging out. Moving the hind leg back helps move your weight to your opposite hip - A major rule of horsemanship is to always have your weight in the direction of movement. - Just try one step at a time before doing a continuous movement or adding speed to it.
