Why You Need To Train Your Horse?

By Anne Hill

If you don't ever sell your steed, you will still have a much greater relationship with the bonding that occurs during steed training.

Not to mention, it can be very dangerous. Horse training will make things easier and more pleasurable for both rider and steed.
