Everything your horse learns that is good is due to anticipation. Everything your horse learns that is not so good, is due to anticipation. Warwick will show you how to use Anticipation to your advantage and how you can solve problems if you’ve inadvertently taught your horse to do something that you don’t want them to do by mis-using anticipation.
Anytime you are asking a horse to do two or more things at once they need to know them perfectly well separately. When you put them together and it is not working you need to mentally isolate the one that is not working, separate it and correct the issue before recombining them.
When solving a problem you need to make sure the tool or exercise you are using to solve the problem is fully functional before you use it.
When you use this principle, it ensures your horse doesn’t have any difficulty finding the answer to the question and also helps you identify the start of any problems.
