I couldn't agree more. If it feels wrong in your gut, it more than likely is. Heather ________________________________ I think when you lose your temper with a horse, it is time to get off. That doesn't mean that you should let horses do what they want, it's just that I think when you lose your temper, your effectiveness as a trainer is gone and you need to come back another time. I also don't agree that as a rider you should be willing to accept any kind of treatment from a trainer. Some of these people get results but at what price? In terms of treatment of horses, if someone is doing something that you think is cruel or inhumane, it probably is and we shouldn't stand for it. In dressage, in western, in hunters, in eventing, in saddleseat (it happens in all disciplines) people need to show the courage to speak out against abuse and stop rewarding the people that perpetuate it.
