An excerpt from "Your Foal: Essential Training for the Young Horse":
Okay, next critical point to understand: To paraphrase John Lyons, there are three rules when working your horse – and they're especially true here with your foal. Whatever training you're doing or intend to do, keep in mind that your efforts must: 1) Not be likely to get you hurt, 2) Not be likely to get the horse hurt and 3) Your colt must be calmer at the end of the training than at the beginning. You should underscore rule number three with a pencil, as you'll be surprised how often it comes into play. It's a terrific concept to keep in mind because you are completely wasting your time out there if the horse is more excited at the end of your training than at the beginning. Simply put, if he's agitated, he's not learning. You'll see that for yourself in short order – but it's also just plain common sense: You can't force it into their brains.
