We took the three Derby horses to Cinder lakes to fence and run and stop.
After some running and stopping its a good thing to run a straight line to the end of the arena and go around the corner to check your steering and rate. You can really find out if your horse is broke or not. If they quit guiding or speed up pulling them in the ground fixes it pretty quick on the corners after which you can just lope off again or walk a circle bridled up, bumping the chin in ala John Irish to remind them to keep the shoulders up. Also you can try just bumping straight up under the chin to pick the shoulders up while your loping around the corner. You can do any combination of the above to keep the shoulder up, keep your guide and keep your rate.
