Yeah, I agree, I mean what's the point anyway? Why do you have to take a bunch of shortcuts to "prove" something? Slow and steady wins the damned race.

It's pretty easy to teach a horse something but damn hard to unteach um ...

If there is a trainer out there who can condition my 2 year old in western pleasure and win at a quarter show in 3 hours I wouldn't say a bad thing about anyone ever again. However, there is a reason why horses spend months and people spend thousands to get these horses trained. If it really can be done in a few hours, wouldn't everyone be doing that? Hmph. I want to go to one of those clinics now...

Oh, man, Sara. Congratulations to you for sticking with the demo that long. I would have left sometime around the long-lining, escorted out the door for using "family-inappropriate" language. Heh. And hooray pink tights! Gotta love 'em.
It's people like this (like PJD said) that give people with no horse training experience the idea that they can do it all themselves, or that these gimmicks will solve all their problems, or that they don't actually need to learn anything slowly and carefully. Hell no. I've been riding for my whole life, and I know that I don't know everything, and I know when to holler for advice or help; no one person knows EVERYTHING about horses. No wonder so many "NH" horses need years of retraining before being good for anything. I bet most of the people who bought his stuff have no real practical horse-sense, and now their poor animals are going to suffer.

Exactly. I've seen "NH" trained horses that will bolt backwards whenever you wiggle a leadrope. That is incredibly hard to unteach, just from personal experience.
