| | 133 | |
| Principle One: To foster a more equal relationship, based on trust and respect, in which horse and man learn from each other |

| Principle Two: Never to adopt ``standard'' or inflexible methods of training but to recognize that each horse develops as an individual and reacts differently to the same stimulus |
| | 139 | |
| Principle Three: To reduce stress as well as to become a safe, trusted ``haven'' for the horse |

| Principle Four: Always to be patient and never push too fast or too insistently--- and on the other hand, not to allow the horse to get bored |
