I spend most of my time with horses trying to help them to view work with me as easy. I strive to make it something that causes them no more bother than to be standing in the paddock on a warm day. That’s my goal and what I work on every moment.

Watching Horse Training Videos
If the horse has a soft-focus, a quiet mind, can follow the human's feel with no trouble, and is okay to have its thoughts interrupted with a new idea, then I want to know more about the trainer, the philosophy, and methods.

The bottom line is that I believe using the “science” tag is nothing more than a marketing strategy. As a person trained in the rigorous sciences, it bothers me to see something as beautiful as good science exploited in this way. Despite the nice idea of using methods backed by scientific data, in reality, nothing changes for the horse or the trainer or the owner. Good trainers will still be good and bad trainers will still be bad irrespective of the science behind their methods
