About this episode
This week, we decided to take a detour and discuss some popular articles we spotted being shared across Facebook a few weeks ago. It can feel very frustrating and alienating when prominent trainers use various language to discredit you as a rider, a horse person, and call you a wimp. We take a look at what some of this language is, how it perpetuates such negative views in the horse world, and what we can do to change it. Of course, it wouldn't be an In The Barn episode without a dash of research on wether or not different training methods are valid...or if we should just stick to the same old ways, day after day.
