Tracey, you make an excellent point here.  While neglect/abuse through 
ignorance is just as painful to the horse, at least with a caring 
rider/owner, one DOES have a chance of lessening future 
occurrances--something that is often not the case with the "win-at-any-cost" 
sort of person who may be "knowledgeable" in some ways but uncaring.  It is 
often nigh on impossible to convince the the latter that he might win more in 
the long run if he does it right--he is already convinced that he knows it 
all.
