Hi Mic, >>>I think another part of it is that they do, truly, love their horses (most of them, anyway) and to admit you are abusing your own horse takes one hell of a lot of guts. It's so much easier to convince yourself that of course everything is fine and you're doing the best for your horse. And when virtually everyone around you is telling you the same thing, it's easy to stick your head in the sand.
I totally agree. I have seen and heard of the same thing happening at clinics of all sorts in N.A. People get into the 'group think' and stop questioning whether what is being done to their horse, or what they are asked to do is ok. It just depends on where you sit.
