“When we’re training horses at the ranch, we have a four-day rule for introducing exercises and dropping exercises out of the rotation. This ‘rule,’ as well as training the horses on the trail and over the obstacle course, keeps their lessons interesting and new. A horse that is engaged in what you’re teaching him will make progress, while a horse that is not challenged or bored will become resentful and cranky about working with you,” Clinton says.
If you’ve ever wondered how you should progress through the Method or when to introduce or to move on from an exercise, you’ll want to read “The Four-Day Rule” article in the spring issue of the No Worries Journal. In the article, Clinton explains how he takes a horse through the exercises in the Fundamentals, Intermediate and Advanced levels of the Method.
