Why would I look forward to my horse spooking?

Episode 61: I explain the stages of horse training as I see them. I use the levels of elementary school, high school and college as levels of horse training. I explain what I'm looking for in those stages…and the idea that just riding a horse for more hours does not necessarily mean they keep moving up through the levels. In this episode, I go into detail with Presto who is in elementary school. I also explain why I don't feel safe until a horse in elementary school spooks…and recovers. During this season, I will be sharing more behind the scenes with Presto, Willow and Gabby so you can better understand the methods I've been teaching you.
