looking to the outside on circles

Chillie responded pretty good to direct rein- pulling the nose in- way in to the inside- letting the shoulder hang out and then guiding to the inside- in other words if the horse wants to look to the outside of the circle pull the nose in and push the shoulder out or let it stay out for a second - then pulling everything behind the nose again- so the nose goes first, by quite a ways to the inside - over do it- so the horse learns to make the corner with its shoulder to the outside. But yet I'm still guiding toward the center of the circle= so he learns to go the direction of the circle without the shoulder to the inside. I'm basically pulling on the nose and letting everything else lag behind until I feel the nose is to the inside enough before bringing the shoulder-
