Why, because they put there efforts into becoming experts at riding or showmanship when they really need to be focusing on becoming horseman. First you need to develop a base a starting point you can build on, a base involving both the horse and you, developing a life long partnership.

It's essential that you not leave any of the six out if you're to realize the end result, a lifetime partnership with your horse that is safe, enjoyable and rewarding.
1. Understanding
You need to understand your horse. To do that you have to understand how horses think.
