>>> I am not a gifted teacher of people and don't particularly enjoy instructing, but I have given lessons and I have yelled - sometimes to make a point or to catch a student's attention or even to keep someone safe.
I am not a teacher either, and I don't want to be...but I totally agree that if yelling can prevent an accident, then yelling is fully in order. Hopefully, we can avoid virtually all of those situations though, by planning ahead - at least in our own domains, on our own farms. >>>> However, if the riding instructor were being abusive in any way, I'd run (screaming) from the barn.
