Philippe Karl's philosophy for his training methods are based on understanding the physical and mental conditions of the horse, the ease of the aids and the horse's movements.

It is fundamental that the aids are taught clearly before the horse begins to do any gymnastic work. A lively mouth is essential for a real receptivity to the rider's hand. Complete flexibility of the neck is essential for neck extension and flexion of the poll. An introduction to training on two tracks completes the first part of this schooling series.
