<<You start with a nice, sound horse with the proper
disposition and you
TRAIN him to be that way...but it doesn't happen in
two
hours.>>
And if you go see a John Lyons clinic or symposium, you will hear him say
this. I have seen John Lyons at the Equine Affaire in Ohio the
last few years. He shows starting the young, un-broke horse in a round
pen. At the end of each session, John is the first to admit the horse is
NOT trained. He stresses over and over that it takes 600 - 1000
repetitions of the same action to *teach* the horse a
particular maneuver. AND you must ask for it the same way each time
or the learning process will take longer.
