An excerpt:

The secret here is to be objective. Before you ever pick up the rein or lead, already know how many times you expect the horse to step or where he's going to place his hoof or whether he's going to get lighter through the bridle, drop his head x-amount, soften by two pounds or bow his neck one hair more - or whatever. Don't just roam about with no plan; keeping objective keeps you proactive and that's really the key. (Note: If you're moving about looking for something to get better - let's say his ability to step back and to the left - but you notice that something entirely different has gotten worse - let's say he got stiffer through the neck - then you might very well choose to change your focus, and instead work to improve "that which got worse.") Let's say you decide to press into use the exercises we learned in Day One. We ask the horse to move his tail over three steps, then back two steps and finally forward three more (whatever). Release, pet and repeat for about five minutes until he does some facet of this little dance one tiny bit better. He might flow more freely, stay lighter through the bridle or just plain look better doing it. You might be the only person in the world that knows your horse just improved because it was something tiny and fleeting that you felt through the reins - but those sorts of changes are terrific for today's purposes. Be aware that, should you find yourself working continuously for more than 5 or 10 minutes, you're probably looking for too much in the way of advancement - dial it back a bit. We're trying to get you on the horse, not do a lifetime of training in one afternoon.
