Blackandbay, I didn'tmean I don't like the trainers in general, just the ones I live near. I have seen them breaking horses in and they force things like headset and use harsh bits to teach a horse to slow down, they lunge a horse (sweet and calm Arab colt at first and after he would kick anyone who came in his stall) by clipping the lunge line to a thin twisted wire full cheek snaffle and jerking on it as hard as they could to stop. But I have met some (who sadly live a ways away) that I do like and I will continue to look for a good one near me.
To clarify the info thing, he doesn't raise his head when I apply pressure, he turns nicely (he neck reins) moves off of some leg, doesn't know any seat cues, and is a 7 Y.O. Arab gelding who has not been ridden consistently for about a year and a half and before that he had one summer of being used as a guide horse for trail riding at a resort. His main problem is slowing down such as transitions and rating his gates. Tomorrow I don't have class and we will be spending a lot of time in the arena and beginning to learn seat cues and softening his mouth along with having a consistent speed at the walk and trot... (I prob wont get to all of this, but, for now these are my goals with him...)
