A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Not being experienced with anything equine, I notice that two of our four presenters are behind the horse and two are in front. I believe the behavior comes from stopping the horse from going forward, but applying pressure from the rear, giving the horse no where to go but up. I do note however the horses being worked from behind have better looking "extension" in the front legs, as if maybe they are not afraid to stick them out there? Is the end result to work the horse from the front or stay on it's side?
