She's kept her cool with me. Never bucked, reared, kicked, etc. And I did ask for "positive" info and pointers. You guys are the one who is forming the publicity. I know the potential in the mare and I know how well she will be in the end. My training methods have never made sense to people. But that's okay. My boss knows what I"m doing. She's watched the mare being rode and watched her from the beginning and is quite impressed and EXTREMELY happy with all her results.

Yep, and we get to do that. It's not our responsibility to be careful of how WE portray this mare to the (buying) public- it's yours.

My training methods have never made sense to people. But that's okay.

And that hasn't tipped you off that maybe something's wrong in the basement?

No one's calling you a BAD trainer. We're giving you tips, which you asked for, and ideas that could save this mare a lot of headache now and in the future.

well i am glad that your boss and you believe that you are doing well, how you cannot understand ANYTHING 1000 knowledgeable horse people are saying and trying to help you by saying boggles my mind. and we all feel for this poor frustrated little mare

People have given you *positive* info and points, you continue to make excuses. That is when the positive will turn into negative. In order to get positive information and pointers, you have to be willing to accept that information, as well, and use it.

You're not, you're making excuses for absolutely everything everyone is saying.

I'm taking in everything you guys are saying and explaining myself. I never said they were excuses they are all my explinations. I haven't lied on here. I've told nothing but the truth. I am going to slow down on her a bit and let her just be a horse. She's had a week and half off anyways. I'll have more videos by tomorrow. Whether you guys catch them on my youtube account or not.......whatever.

How old are you??? and does your employer realize that her insurance will most likely not cover you becasue you are not wearing proper equipment ?? In fact the barn I worked at would have had their insurance cancelled for that reason!!

Yes and we all have given you a lot of postive info about all of this, and I have to agree with Jess! you are making up excuses about all of them, and you seem to be getting slightly rude, due to the fact that we are all trying to give you information to help you; and this mare out in the best of ways for the future.
I guess your methods don't make sense to all of us because non of us want something like that, I'm sorry to say but that mare does not seem soft in the mouth as you have said because you tug on the rope, and have her head totally bend to the side while asking her to walk forwards! That is impossible too do!
What qualifications does you trainer have?? and why doesn't she just train them herslef?? or does she not know how too!

I agree 100% with this Jess!, It's very true, HGS is full of wonderful talented people that do all disciplines, and we have all tried to help, and with your answer I guess we failed to try to tell you in a positive way what you could correct or work on to help out, which is what you asked us too do! But you take the information and bring it back like we are all wrong
