 [RC] Questions for trainers - Marcia NelsonMy experience as a 
trainer is that there are endless things that a horse can learn in every facet 
of their lives and work and job and so I vary them from day to day to keep it 
interesting. If the horse understands that we are communicating and that I am 
giving them time to sort out the requests I don't overwhelm them and they become 
brave and willing and they want to please. They are truly an amazing animal that 
given half a chance to come to the table and participate will be a different 
animal than one that is expected to endure having things being done TO them and 
to do it without complaint or opinion or they are considered a brat. I do 
develop them into having a work ethic but it comes with time not force.
