Apparently he and the others don't practice what they preach - unless 
they're advocating the One-Day Wonder Horse method of training.  I suspect 
it comes down to the old "anything is OK if it's for money".  If it's so 
important to take a colt along slowly (and if my prior email comment about 
sleep dependent motor skills applies) then a one day show (oops, I mean 
clinic) is clearly teaching the wrong thing, to the colts AND the audience.
