Laurie,
The funny part is that I don't HAVE to get in a fight with my
horse. He loads every time. And as far as the Natural training methods, I've
tried those also and guess what! They use a whip also, only they call
it a carrot stick but it's the same friggin' thing . And I've seen them hit
their horse in the neck and head trying to get them to do one of the "7 games",
something I would never do to my horse! They also get their horses to run
in a circle, shying away from the lead rope as it's twirled at their hip. Don't
give me that crap that they don't use fear to train their horses. It's B.S. and
you know it!
