Insomniac research drew me to a 3 part youtube video of the 2010 AMHA worlds.
When handlers are setting up their horses and re setting them, it's pretty obvious that some techniques are pretty aggressive in body language and the horses are quite intimidated. Even when exhibitors come up to get ribbons 3 or 4 of the top 10 start running backwards head up when the handler turns to face them.
Is this something that amateurs do in an attempt to copy professionals but miss the mark, or is this how they are usually trained?
Inquiring minds want to know, without offending..
