Well, gosh, thanks.
I find the common-sense approach the best....but I
am always pretty careful to look at what parts of the situation I can
control and what I can't. If there are too many variables (windy day,
green horse, strange trail), then maybe it is not the day to introduce hanging
the scoop on the saddle! I also agree that each horse is different.
I just have seen SO MANY spoiled horses over the years what walk all over
people...I have little patience with people who squawk too much about this and
that trainer, while their horses still walk all over them.
However, I try to save the patience for the horses!

Karen,
I appreciated your email on
horse behavior.
The "common sense" you speak of, when
all the fear, all the video-acquired "knowledge", all the clinic-acquired
"knowledge", all the book-acquired "knowledge" and all the Ridecamp-acquired
"knowledge" is pared down, is the best place to start.
If someone cannot start there, the rest of it won't ever make any sense or
difference in the life of a horse with people.
Frank.
