The May 2009 Savvy Times article "The Ultimate Training Formula" .

Stage #1 is CALM. "You are aiming for a calm, relaxed horse. Level-headed, no tension anywhere, happy to stand still, soft eyes, soft ears, soft tail, relaxed way of moving."


"The formula to use is this: first make sure your horse is calm, then build his trust, then increase his motivation, and finally gain his willing obedience."


"You have the power to reveal the perfect inner horse by getting him more emotionally balanced in these four areas, and then it's your responsibility to not push him off balance when you are teaching him...The entire time you play with your horse you have to be checking on these things...Mastery in horsemanship is taking care of the little things, and as Pat says, Do less sooner rather than more later."
