In keeping with the idea that Soldier doens't know what to do with his body, I rode him today and worked on turns into the fence. This can teach him how to get his body out of the way. I start by asking him to step just a little away from the fence and and as he moves away from the fence, I then turn him toward the fence. Usually there is not enough room and he is forced to move his body to avoid bumping the fence. As he moves away to give himself enough room to turn, I give him the cue to move away from my legs. anything new is a slow process, but he is learning.
