Maybe I was not specific enough. I never had the
'luxury' of training in an arena, because I didn't have one, therefore my horses
had to learn on the the trail. I don't care if the trail is one foot wide ,they
will learn to back or stand still or sidepass up a hill in that space if I ask.
A horse will learn in 'any' environment as long as you are patient and take the
time to teach them. My horse will stand still with a tractor, bike, or dog
coming straight at him. That's what you want on the trail.
