Re: [RC] headsetting part - Jon . Linderman


I think your point is well taken.  No one discipline is free from abuse or
quick fix schemes.  Often questions asked about gadgets brings the
assumption that people are looking for a quick fix, when really they are
asking about an aid to the schooling/training work.  But you olive branch
contained a few thorns.

"Saddle seat people are the worlds worst about beatings and bit abuse..."

As the husband of a 10-time National Champion in saddle seat, as well as a
world cup qualifier, you could not find a kinder or gentler person with
people or horses.  Her hands are so soft and her seat so deft that when she
hops on anyone's horse the owner invariable begs her to ride the horse
again, and the horse agrees.  I might have accused her trainers of abusing
her when she worked so hard that her legs were raw, but her horses were
treated with nothing but kindness and care.
