Location: Weatherford, Texas		NOT counting the random things that can happen to actually hurt a horse (fall, stumble, maybe stump a toe wrong)- We all look for pain in a horse when things fall apart and usually find one- but what is causing that?

What do you think causes a horse to stop working more often?

1. Pain issue from general soreness or physical imperfection
2. Training issue that causes soreness/pain

Location: Deep South		I voted soreness usually shows up first. Over the past few years I've had to learn that I really do have to have more confidence in my training abilities and in my horses. They DO want to please me, they are trying, and I have taught them well. If issues arise that we are not quickly progressing through then I need to look elsewhere. Not start doubting me or my horse's ability, but trying to figure out what is wrong. Like anything, it takes practice, and unfortunately a few of my horses had to suffer while I was on the learning curve. But you just never stop learning and you become a better rider/trainer for the next one.

Because most people have trouble admitting they are wrong or at fault (it is just a characteristic that all human beings have - has to do with psychology theory of Cognitive Dissonance) they are quick to blame something that they couldn't possibly have control over - such as the horse is in pain. When in reality it is usually training. Yes pain is often a factor, but pain, coupled with a training issue magnifies the problem. JMO.

Location: Texas		I've never had a horse just stop working out of the blue. There has always been an underlying issue to cause them to not want to work.
