I have a few young horses that all will need training about the same time. I do not have a job, so I try to do so much ground work with them, and let them have experience that will help them when it comes time for saddle training.
I think people should consider how safe is the trainer's method for me and my horse. Safety is paramount in teaching my clients.
I think that it is a very good idea to make an agreement on the price, and have both your trainer and you sign a ''contract'' saying that they agreed to the price....
learn and become your own trainer learn from the best people you have to do the work anyway after the trainer leaves
