2 Why Ride? Motivators and Philosophy The Classic Approach
Оглавление“Classic,” to me, means using time-proven methods. The study of horses and riding has been around for centuries. Good, solid, classic training principles are based on horses’ consistent reactions to various stimuli. These reactions are the same now as they were hundreds of years ago (figs. 2.1 A & B).
Since horses have not changed over the centuries, there is much to be gained from studying and emulating the training techniques that achieved results long ago. I don’t believe that training techniques need to change to fit our “modern” sensibilities. It isn’t necessary to reinvent the wheel in horse training. It is far better, in my opinion, to study the masters that have come before us and do our best to learn from them.
I believe that all training solutions are out there. It is our job as riders to learn them and discover how to best use them.
