Horse & Hound

Consider this...

-

This is a training exercise, not a test, so avoid making the skinny too big or so narrow that it encourages your horse to run out.

Only make the angle tighter or the skinny higher or narrower when your horse is feeling confident.

If he runs out, go back a step and reinstall the wings on the skinny. Put your weight into your heels and focus on having a strong lower-leg position — avoid gripping with your knees. This will make you more secure and less likely to be unseated by the sharp turn.
