I have heard it said that horses don't like horse trainers.  Buck Brannaman has mentioned this at a couple of his clinics that I have attended.  At first I laughed at the thought of this.  Part of it made sense to me.  The other half, of putting this to practice, eluded me for years.  I struggled with the idea of not training horses while I continued to do just that, train!

It seemed to me a matter of styles.  Maybe one could train nicely and stay in right relation?  Surely there was a grey area here.  You couldn't just get a horse to the level Buck rides at without training them.  Could you?
