The trouble with a one-size-fits-all horse training program
I meet a lot of folks with dangerous horses who previously experienced popular "training programs."
While one program may work for a horse, other horses may need things to be adapted in how and what is presented.
But "trainers" often look for physical responses to specific tasks and have a pre-set "step 1, 2, 3" agenda with many pre-designed programs.
