Perhaps I should have said, "Horse Trainer for hire" or "Horse Shoer for hire" meaning they can say they can do this whether they can or not.
There is no test to pass, no certificate, that type of thing.

In Oregon you have to have a contractors license to be a contractor.....But they can go shady and under the radar for a little bit at the end of thier business before everyone catches on.....
I guess another way of putting it is I want a horse comfortable enough that life is going to be good that I can ride it with a halter if need be....
I was at the Ride the West in Spokane....A lot of clinicians, some stuff I wasn't too agreeable with. Anyway, there was a mounted drill team of maybe 8 girls around 10-12 years old. they rode those horses all over the place with just the leather collars. I thought to myself "Those are the most broke horses in this whole place." And those horses are living a dream life......I also felt a lot of people there should be talking to those girls...Oh, yeah, my Dad bought this horse from such and such and i just love it!!!!! Instead they will go to tons of clinics and try to start a two year old without knowing any feel for a horse...
Yikes is right, my soapbaox is a big un, LOL
