They are able to read a horse's mood and temperament by noticing eye and muscle movement. You will notice throughout the clinic that the trainer walks away from the horse many times. This is deliberate. It is communicating to the horse that he is doing what the trainer wants him to do. If the horse makes the first move and walks before the trainer has successfully completed a step, he is communicating a lack of understanding.
Horses are capable of reasoning, so they are trainable.
Each is communicating with the other and they have formed a working partnership. There are many ways to train a horse. Our method is one of them. We have attended clinics, talked with trainers and observed horses being trained. We are indebted to those who have taught us.
