Send him to the trainer that doesn't focus on "headset". A headset is the product of correct training, it's not something that you teach them before they know how to properly use themselves. Any trainer that focuses on "teaching them a headset" is doing your horse a disservice.
AP has the right of it.  I loathe the word 'headset' and the concept behind the idea.  Correct training = horse using themselves properly and the head naturally follows.

I normally don't think there is much harm in working with many different trainers, but a trainer that focuses on a headset first, is not a trainer any horse should be working with, especially when young.


Dear god Times a trillion !!! I loathe the term headset as well , it is laziness at its finest in the training world

  
Just throwing in my "agreed" as well.
