Just a Thought....

Just continuing from my last post, I raise the question: How many riders out there actually have their trainer sit on their horse? Whether regularly or at least once every six months?
I'm a believer that it is important to have someone more experienced and knowledgable ride your horse, as they can immediately pin-point problems that sometimes you thought were acceptable/normal. It is almost like you get a reality check on your training, and regularly get pointed in the right direction.
Sure, some people say that a good trainer with a good eye won't have to get on your horse, but just think of how many horses out there look stunning, but in reality are extremely difficult to ride, or not evenn correctly trained...
