[QUOTE="Alan, post: 114793, member: 378"] I agree with you, on your response Bill, but from a different angle. Although the end result is the same... Please take my cash money and do a good job. Can't find a worth while trainer in my area. Send a horse out for 90 days and get a skinny horse back with about 6 rides on it, (note: all ground work and is already done including saddling up a few times, tightened cenched, bit and head set). Take the money and the horse and work her the last 14 days... things like this bug me. Or you get the horse back thats so screwed up, head shy, kicks, bolts, etc. Lots of bad trainers out there, lots of trainer who call themselves trainers and know less about horse than a young kid. I ended recruiting younger experienced kids (16 to 20) to work my horses, they do things my way, at my place, and love to ride and get paid for it. But they can only take the horse so far. I don't think it's you Bill, I think it's "trainers" that don't know what they are doing or take on too much. Stay with what you enjoy, although you may have to send a horse out of state to get what you want. I'm a Western Pleasure guy in a area full of ropers, reiners, cutters and gamers. Tough to find a someone for pleasure. Good Luck, Alan [/QUOTE]
