Horse training looks so cool, but I know almost nothing about it.
Yes, it seems interesting but I don't have much expertise since I have never owned a horse. It would be nice to teach one to perform in certain ways.
What are some common things horses are trained to do?
I would say usually they are trained for activities like horse racing and therapeutic riding for those with disabilities.
I never thought about horses being trained for therapeutic reasons, that's really intersting.  Can you tell me more about it?
Historically, horses were trained more for warfare, farm work, and sport. Now the uses have expanded even to offer assistance with calm riding therapy.
I had no idea!  I bet the riding is really comforting for those in need.
I agree, there have not been many studies to corroborate that yet but modern use of horses for therapy can be dated back to the 1990's.
