That the horse is not damaged in the body or mind by his training;- That the training is a partnership between horse and rider, with horse and rider equally willing to learn from one another;
- That each horse is trained according to his strengths and weaknesses as an individual, and never pushed beyond what he is physically and mentally capable of;
- That the horse’s beauty and strength increases, not diminishes, over the years of training, so that at fifteen he is better and fitter than he was at five.
