Montana, thank you for this line: >Some training techniques may appear violent to people unused to horse behavior, but in practice may not be as harsh as they appear. > SO True! Lil 19:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice work, WBMontana! Lil

I agree with Lil. Very nice work. Roan Art 22:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see a section summing up the various methods of horse training. -Arcking

I sympathize, but based on the discussions in wikiproject horse training, a section on "various methods" would be ENORMOUS and invite incessant edit wars. This article is intended to be a basic summary and then have wikilinks at the bottom to all the various methods where everyone can plug their own thing -- Note how long the "See also" links are getting. But, that said, we always welcome more links in the "See also" section.

However, if you are interested in more, the two basic schools of humane methods of horse traning these days pretty much can be summed up (IMHO) as dressage and natural horsemanship. Montanabw 04:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if you could post the link back for the "Road to the Horse". Yes it is a specific event, but it is for different methods of horse training. thanks. --Cirlot20 21:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Thaks for asking, here's the reason it was tossed: The Road to the Horse is exclusively a competition for people within the field of Natural horsemanship (so far, no dressage practitioners have been invited, for example). So, it would be perfectly appropriate to post a link there, and I recommend that you do so. Also see Parelli Natural Horsemanship, John Lyons, etc., most of these folks who have participated could have a wikilink there as well. Maybe in horse breaking also, as that article is about 99% natural horsemanship focused anyway. Plenty of places for a link, just not here, don't want yet another horse article taken over by just one camp, and REALLY don't want edit wars. Montanabw^(talk) 22:14, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
