2. ASK – use a physical and / or verbal cue to ask your horse to do the first step. 

3. RESPONSE – wait until your horse gives you a response.  It may be right or wrong.

4. MARKER – let your horse know the instant they get it right by using a special word or sound.

5. REWARD – give your horse a treat or something else they really like.
