>>> I went back to the site and saw more of the videos he had taken plus I read the comments. The rider is a professional trainer and he was starting that horse--he did not train it to lay down--it did that on its own!
I didn't watch the whole thing because I was in a mood where I found it annoying. But, the horse did it over, and over again, right? It wasn't just one piece of video that he pieced together to be cute, right? The horse genuinely kept doing it in different parts of the arena...? So, what kind of rocket scientist trainer would just keep on doing the same thing, over and over again...? Wouldn't ya think that a person of average intelligent would see that something wasn't working, and that he needed to try another approach....and wouldn't you think that a trainer of average intelligence would realize that repeating a behavior might be reinforcing it? But, as I said, I didn't watch the whole thing. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
