Perhaps if you explained this to them up front - or included the "owner on 
top" as part of your program.

Ridecamp is slow, this isn't endurance-related, but I will finally quit
lurking long enough to say that as a trainer I am frequently disappointed by
the indifference of owners toward their horses' progress while in my care.
Example in point:  the two I currently have in for basic
starting-under-saddle have been visited once in nearly two months by each of
their owners.
When I first take the horse on, I offer they can come once a week or more
often if they wish, ride under my supervision, watch me train, etc.  I 
seldom
see the owners after they drop the horse until they pick it up.  They seldom
call to check on the horse's progress, and when I call to keep them 
informed,
they sometimes take days to return the calls.
I hate to send a green horse home to someone who has never ridden it, don't
know what the outcome will be.  Any advice?
