The greatest error of the
training pyramid as well as the greatest error of most training techniques is
fitting the horse to stereotypes. Morphology, style, spirit are components of
the horse’s talent, successes and soundness. They need to be supported by the
physical and mental education. Touching the legs with a whip creates physical
dysfunction. Leadership, when resumed to obedience is handicapping as well the
horse’s spirit. It is in fact, as explained by Carl Sagan, "propaganda,
pseudoscience, and general falsehood.” Without extensive knowledge of the performance’s athletic demand,
there is no leadership. The leader is
not the one who holds the whip. The leader is the one who holds the knowledge.
