I put they have freedom of speech too lol. I find it kinda annoying, cuz it distracts them from what Im trying to work with them on, but what are you gonna do? Tape their mouths closed? lol

I think horses should be able to talk while riding. I know that I talk when Im working and it just makes me feel comfortable.

I think it is disrespectful.

I think it's fine as long as they know that you are allowing them to do that. If it becomes a problem for you and you ask them to stop for whatever reason, they should be able to listen to you and stop. Other than that I wouldn't care.

I don't much like it. I don't punish my horse for it but I do give them a reminder that I'm who they should be focusing on. It's like walking with a friend and trying to have a converstion and them suddenly yelling at someone else....very rude.
