nihil, Surely you know that "breaking a horse" merely means letting him buck himself out so he will accept the saddle. The rider is in more danger of injury than the horse. If anything gets broke, it is a bone or two of the rider. The horse just gets tired, but you may consider that to be cruelty. If someone said the sun was hot, I believe you would argue with him. ~H~

<<The training of most horses outside of Oz involves much unnecessary cruelty. >> There's a method of training developed by John Lyons That's easy on the horse and is widely used now. Wife used it on her foal and he would stand for saddling and bridling at 6 months without tying. It's a lot of petting, body language and early introduction.
