I am trying to learn about horse training, are you a horse trainer?
I am,  Horse training refers to a variety of practices that teach horses it really depends on how old the horse is already.
What practices are used to train horses?
Well Historically, horses were trained for warfare, farm work, sport. But now it is more for pleasure.
When you say for pleasure do you mean just personal enjoyment or competition or both?
Both! equestrian activities range horse racing to therapeutic horseback. So just being around a horse is good for you..
Any special methods used to train young horses?
There is tremendous controversy over various methods of horse training So it really just varys from trainer to trainer.
