| Hi all. I’m new to the forum, so I thought I would share a little about myself and say hello. My family had horses when I was a child, but I never did any of the training. At 27 I decided to adopt a rescue horse. I knew nothing about training, but knew that I wanted a natural approach. With my horse especially (because of his past), I couldn’t use force or fear. When I got him, you couldn’t raise a hand near him without scaring him. He was afraid of people and didn’t want to be touched. I found an amazing trainer with ideals that I could identify with. By studying her approach, watching her videos, and following a weekly program with her, my horse has been completely transformed. He is an amazing horse who is intelligent and inquisitive and now we can finally see that side of him!

I'm glad you found a trainer who you connect with and have had good results with - from your post it sounds like you have not had any in-person contact with this trainer? Personally, I found that in-person contact is much more valuable than learning off a DVD or from a book. I have an amazing trainer who has taken me from a "backyard" rider to competiting in reined cowhorse shows and ranch versatility shows. Probably for about as much as some people spend on BNT boxed programs. But if you are happy with your system, more power to you!
