I talk about why horses eating on the trial is normal and should be allowed. Those that do not allow it show they do not understand horses. Those that do not allow this show they are not a partner of the horse, they show their fear of not being able to control the horse if they let it eat. Horses always tell on their riders, a horse knows if you know. Those are too scared or insecure to allow their horse to eat tell everyone and the horse that they are not confident, they are not in control, they are fearful to be out of control.\r

Really, think about it, you put your life in the horses hooves by getting on him, but allowing him to eat is someone a deal breaker and will totally mess up your horse? ? does that sound reasonable?
