Caution! Warning! Strong Opinion!
From my Archives 2016
In regard to your horse, please try to trust your gut and your instincts.
If your gut says that your trainer is being too rough or aggressive with your horse, then he or she probably is.
Your horse will end up angry, resentful, and most likely injured.
Please do not be afraid to change trainers if your gut tells you that this trainer is not for you
or your horse.
If your trainer wants to tie your horse's rein to the saddle, with the neck cranked around in a horrific position, and leave them like that in the round pen for an hour, use your common sense!
If your trainer resorts to mean/cruel bits or training apparatuses, to make them "bridle up",
is that really OK?
If your trainer wants your horse to live in a stall 24 hours per day, so that they have a nice coat, really?
Your horse deserves a better quality of life.
It is not worth it!
