In a perfect world, time shouldn’t matter when training a horse. However, in the real world, time does matter. I tell the Academy students all the time, if you’re not aware of your time, typically you’re not focused on getting results. You’d think the more time you gave yourself to train a horse the better job you’d do, but reality is, when there is no set deadline, people end up just doing a little of this or a little of that and not getting anything accomplished. Having a deadline keeps you focused on getting results. Then, if you do need more time with a horse, so be it. You can take it.
