Found this lovely quote by Karen West on the site of a Scandinavian dressage rider/trainer, Per Waaler, who advocates training with trust and allowing the horse to choose its own way and not fearing negative consequences for not doing what the rider asked for.

"A horse has no future. It cannot greet the sun and say today will be better. It can only reflect upon days of past experiences. It is our job to create a positive past."
