RE: [RC] Training Problems - heidi

And yes, addressing these underlying physical problems can make most
(for me it is usually about 75%) of the "problem" go away.  


I'd agree that solving the underlying problem will do a great deal
toward making a "training" problem go away.  I didn't state my point
very well.  What I meant to say was that some things ARE training
problems, and supplements won't make THOSE go away.  And for those
times where there IS an underlying problem, the horse may have learned
defensive mechanisms that still have to be dealt with even though
you've solved the physical or physiological problem.  I think we are on
the same page here, and I think the statement of yours that I've clipped
below says it well:


So, here I will say, unequivocably, IF you are having a persistent
training problem with your horse, look for a physical explanation FIRST.
Because more often than not, you will find one.  And it is grossly
unfair not to address it before proceeding.
