RE: [RC] Trainers for Horses vs for People - Sarah Cavitt

Actually a fair number of clinicians do take in horses to train. They tend to be ones that have resident students or big home barns with staff though. I wouldn't want to send my horse to a clinician who was on the road all the time. When would he be training my horse?

Consider the economics as well. Clinicians pull in several thousand dollars for a single weekend. How many horses would they have to train to make what the popular clinician makes in a month? And, how many people would be able to get a horse trained by that clinician? How many, in fact, would have heard of him, had he not BEEN a clinician?

Clinicians give clinics because there's a market. Because people want to know what that person knows. Some people teach others to ride better. Some teach people to train horses. I don't see why that's so suspect.
