Thanks for the post Karen. It's even more difficult for someone
starting with horses to see where the training actually is when so much
force is being used. It is very confusing. I look for simplicity and a
calm step by step approach. I could see an inexperienced person getting
into really big trouble trying to use force. In any case it takes all
the fun out of life and turns it into work. I like your posts. You make
me think.
