12 Principles of Training
MAKE THE WRONG THING HARD AND THE RIGHT THING EASY
The basic tenant of this principle is leave your horse alone while he is doing what you want.
DON’T GO TO BED ANGRY
When your horse is no longer relaxed, you need to get him relaxed again before proceeding. (Like a married couple, if
anything has built up during the day, get rid of it before you
go to bed.)
CREATE A TOOL BEFORE YOU USE A TOOL
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.
APPLICATION OF YOUR AIDS
Also known as order of cues, this principle is very important in teaching a horse how to respond to subtlety.
DO THE OPPOSITE
As the olde English saying goes “You ride a slow horse fast and a fast horse slow.”
THE DONKEY KONG PRINCIPLE
This horse training principle, like Donkey Kong or any other video game, relies on the idea that whenever you get something wrong, you return to the beginning and start all over again.
CHOOSE WHERE YOU WORK AND CHOOSE WHERE YOU REST
Be aware of your horses internal GPS and their ability to recall places where no rest occurs. An amazing tool to that is one of
the foundations of Warwick’s training.
THEY NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER BEFORE YOU ASK THE QUESTION
Similar to how we teach children to count before they add,
and add before they multiply, because the answer to the current question lies in the previous teaching.
ISOLATE, SEPARATE, RECOMBINE
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.
ANTICIPATION IS YOUR BEST FRIEND OR YOUR WORST ENEMY
Horses are masters at anticipation and knowing when to enhance it and when to suppress it is a key element of training.
CHANGE ONE THING AT A TIME
When it’s time to add something, make sure you only change one thing a time so you know what works or doesn’t work.
WORK WITH THE HORSE YOU HAVE TODAY
No two days are the same, do not work with a horse with any preconceived notions or expectations. Work with the horse that is in front of you right now and do what that horse needs.

Whoa Podcast Interview
From John Harrer’s WHOAPODCAST:
http://whoapodcast.com/clinician-warwick-schiller/
“Growing up in Australia a young Warwick Schiller was hungry for horse news and studied Western Horseman magazine like he was cramming for a final. He says that even today if you show him a cover from the 70’s he can likely tell you one of the articles inside. Yet he began his working career as a banker. It was on a sabbatical from banking that Warwick came to America and found a job working for a reining trainer. Working with a reining trainer gave Warwick the foundation he needed to become a clinician. Now, Warwick Schiller travels the world giving clinics and demonstrations on his unique style of horsemanship.
I really enjoy talking with Warwick. He studies everything. Philosophy, efficiency, psychology are just a few of the areas Warwick explores to learn more about horsemanship. Warwick Schiller will be one of the speakers at the Best Horse Practices Summit in the fall of 2017. Best Horse Practices explores the principles of Evidenced-based Horsemanship.
Warwick Schiller has a new TV program on Farm & Ranch TV (available on ROKU) called The Principles of Horsemanship. It’s here where Warwick talks about the difference between learning techniques and principles. Using these principles, Warwick believes you can develop the techniques that work for you to build your horsemanship.”
