I second that. Please a good trainer. We humans just aren't strong enough
to manhandle 1000 pound horses. We need to use finesse and smarts and get
the animal to see things our way. Force doesn't accomplish much. Animals
that have been trained with force, we negatively call "cowboy broke." here
inKansas. (sorry to you cowboys who are sensitive with your horses)
