I train horses in my spare time.
1_Wizard
I do as well! It is true that horses have been trained to be manageable by humans for everyday care as well as for equestrian activities.

I see, and do you need any special education to become a horse trainer?
1_Wizard
Well when I became a hand I noticed how much controversy their was over various methods of horse training. But really you just needs to be hands on.

What are some controversial methods of horse training? I have heard about trainers giving their horses drugs.
1_Wizard
Well some techniques are considered cruel, other methods are considered gentler. I prefer to give them rewards for good behavior.

Do you start training your horses when they are young?
1_Wizard
Yes as young as possible. The range of training techniques and training goals is large if you ever decide you get a horse you have lots of research to look forward too.
