Horses don’t care about being straight and balanced. No horse spends time worrying about how it could be straighter and move with more balance. They don’t even know they are crooked and there is a better way.
For the sake of your horse and yourself, always remember to make what are the really important reasons for choosing a trainer or teacher as the primary factors, and don’t be overly swayed by the others.
If you can do that you avoid the pitfalls of your horse just learning a job. Instead, they learn to work with you and trust your ideas with every step. If you only teach a horse to do jobs you are only teaching tricks and they will fail you when the circumstances change.
