I once had a horse that jumped well sent to me. The people who had the horse before just couldn’t get him quiet.

If he was a little fresh, they would work him a little bit more. If he was still fresh, they would do still more. Eventually, the horse required so much work that they just couldn’t give him any more—and he still wasn’t quiet.

My ultimate goal with that horse was to have consistent performance without a huge allotment of warm-up time. I wanted to replace time with training. To that end, instead of adding more and more work and trying to get the horse quiet all the time, I decreased his work time and did not make it contingent on his performance.
