[QUOTE="Shari, post: 334639, member: 1848"] Good point, and you're probably right. I just wanna scream. He has not seen the list that I am aware of. Its on the computer and he's not computer savvy. That's not to say he didn't blunder into it, but I doubt it. Training a horse is a lot like training a dog. And we had a titled hunting retriever that was trained without ever laying a hand on it. And that dog [I]LOVED[/I] to hunt. He learned quite on his own, to hold his breath so he could hear geese or ducks approaching, he [I]lived[/I] to hunt. And that's how I want my horse to feel about this sport. I don't think you attain that thru punishment. There's a couple older guys in the shooting group that have a real sense of regard for their mounts. Both horses are extremely personable and they love the sport. One has been to the world championships with his horse. I emailed them both for some tips and thoughts (obviously leaving out the husband part of the story). I'll take that info back to husband and we'll talk more. Maybe I'm putting too much into it, but it just felt like a slap in the face. [/QUOTE]
