How proponents of the 3 toolkits interact like the proverbial 3 blind men with the elephant. More on the Zero toolkit, overshadowing, and the transition from ground work to riding.
Being strong in one of the ‘maps’ of riding and training makes up for weaknesses in the other ‘maps’ - and also allows trainers to negate the other maps. Trainers often attribute their skill to one of the toolkits, not realising that they are also strong in a different one. Incongruent riding happens where there are conflicts between two toolkits eg the reins say ‘stop’, but the rider leans back during a halt so the laws of physics say ‘go’. Operant and classical conditioning as toolkits zero and 1. Making the transition from groundwork to riding.
