"Explore many, embrace several, follow none."

A brief comment on "name" trainers and their 'methods'...I think it is best to not lock into too much to a particular trainers method. Explore many, embrace several, follow none. Learn to develop your own way which the horse will guide you on if you really pay attention and do not rely on another's way too much. If you are locked in to another's way, you can easily lose your own... (Franklin Levinson)

 

A talented trainer, who is authentic, need not tell the world he or she follows the methods of someone else. They are not that other trainer and never will be. It is how they themselves are with horses (and humans) that should be the deciding factor whether or not you decide to have them influence your horsemanship. It is never about who your mentor is or was. It is only about who you are.
