This is part 3 of a conversation that began with a question about picking your starting criteria. Once your training session is underway, how do you change criteria? What happens to the rhythm of your training during the transition? Is it a smooth flow, or is it more stop and go? Always the conversation prompts us to see new details in the training.

Our conversation finishes with a discussion of core training beliefs. In the new on-line clinics I ask people to introduce themselves and their horses. One of the discussion threads asks about training goals. What do people want for their horses. The answers very much reflect a change in emphasis as people shift into cue-based training. Dominique reflects on her own journey through the horse world.
