I find your being on both sides of the fence, confusing at best

Find someone to study with. Don't mess with anyone not CERTIFIED by a major trainer

Never did I say that she should learn from no one else.
Ok, I'm obviously cranky because of being snowed/iced in all weekend, but this new "fad" has bothered me for a while. I know this is what the modern/video trainer now teaches, but please bear in mind that it is only an opportunity for them to make money.
If you have access to one of these so called guru's. Have them explain where they give credit to what they know.
If they are as genuine as they claim to be, they should be willing to acknowledge, that they are using extremely old tried and true methods that have been widely accepted for many more years than this generation cares to recognize.
It was not sent to them by word of God, but stolen or lets say brought back to light from much better trainers than themselves. Take a detailed and interesting look at such classical horsemen as Xenophon, William Cavendish and Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere, Alois Podhajsky along with Irishman Dan Sullivan and American John Rarey, born in 1827.
Interesting enough none of these people are accredited with -well anybody.
And yet their work is still something widely and wisely sought after.
And in the fall at KHP we will be hosting the WEG and again strangely enough, none of those qualified riders are devote followers of any of these "credited" trainers.
Guess I just missed the boat.
