The trainer

Today I took Gally to my trainer, Mark.

While I was there, I watched Mark in the process of braking in a young athletic filly. Athletic? Man, this horse was like a cat. She would twist this way and that. She was amazing. But Mark was equally amazing. He had an answer for everything she did, and he followed Tom Roberts principles of "This will profit you" and "This will profit you not" to the letter.

It was brilliant to watch, especially after finally understanding some of Gally's problems, some of my shortcomings, and the horse training principles as described by Tom Roberts.
