>>> 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.
We got our first horses about twenty years ago. I remember vividly spending the first 6-18 months thinking, "I don't think that's right" and, No, that can't be" about SO many things that people told me. I had a strong instincts for things I DIDN'T want to do. Unfortunately, that didn't mean that I had a clue about how or what I should do. Hopefully, 20 years later, we're not bumbling so badly, but I still get confused. :) >>> In any case it takes all the fun out of life and turns it into work. Isn't that a fact! >>> I like your posts. You make me think. Welcome to the minority. ;) Karen Thomas, NC
