Choose an area that interests you or you believe may interest your horse- 

You may want to learn in a linear pattern or decide to work several  Trick categories at once. Mostly it will depend on your preference. We have done it different ways with different horses’ learning styles.

Many moves are the basis upcoming moves. Some horses learn in a linear fashion and some don't...you decide.
