>So ride your horse -- but don't constantly
train your horse. Let the horse be a horse. Because if the horse is
'trained' back at the barn -- he can be a horse you'll enjoy riding and just be
'one' with.
I would submit that even going out for pure
enjoyment is a form of "training"--it is "training" the horse to function
independently with what you've already taught him..... Some horses never
do learn to simply enjoy going out with a rider, sad to say.
