Re: [RC] [RC] probiotics? - Laney HumphreyHi JenYou sound like the perfect owner for your horse! He is, as you say, YOUR horse and you don't have to make your living by training him for either sale or some owner who wants to make money off the horse. That's the situation for trainers and it forces them to start horses, especially QHs, way too young. Because they are driven by money they must do things fast and that often means forcefully. I worked for a trainer for 5 years. She specializes in Reined Cowhorses but trained anything that was brought to her. She has worked a lot with my horse, Dino, over the years. At first she assumed that all horses were pretty much the same since she'd mostly worked with just one breed. But, Dino, and the Lippizaners and Clydesdales and Arabs that she has worked with, have convinced her that there are differences. Fortunately, she has always worked on "horse time" with all the horses she's trained with spectacular results. She has admitted that Dino is the smartest horse she's ever worked with which means you have to work with him because trying to force him to do something just won't work! Stick to your guns with your horse; get some of the excellent training videos that are now available or attend some horse starting clinics (but only with good clinicians) if you still feel you need help. Ignore those QH trainers!!! But, most important: have fun with your horse!
