I want to preface this blog by saying that trainers are often the biggest assets in this industry. In my opinion there are two types of trainers: one type works very hard to enhance their education and is dedicated to the well-being and successes of their students and horses; while this may also be part of the goal, the other type sees this career path more as a means to promote themselves and their successes in the show ring. It doesn’t mean one is better than the other; they are just different paths. Very few trainers are successfully able to combine both due to time and financial constraints.

The saddle plays a significant role in the support of these two types of trainers. Read the full article here.
