“To be sure, Iu0026#39;ve taken a hard look (actually it was shoved down my throat) at u0026quot;spiritually-inspired training methods.u0026quot; Also, Iu0026#39;m aware of non US differences in techniques… Further, walking a horse off the Amish truck (Hungary) was not a foreign concept to me when I felt the need. And last but not least, Iu0026#39;m not here to u0026quot;bad mouthu0026quot; the film because movies are for entertainment purposes, with fictitious content – which should therefore not be subjected to peer review.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHaving said all that, in the interest of harm reduction, Iu0026#39;d like to offer a few sentences:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHorses are extremely powerful animals and even the most docile weanling can cause serious injury to an individual unintentionally. No thousand pound class animal can be tranquilized and dropped in a few seconds with an intramuscular injection. Colts/Stallions in general, are not the type of animal you want to bond with – thatu0026#39;s why most are gelded. Grooming takes place while a horse is tethered, preferably with cross ties. A horse in a domesticated environment requires a halter, at night, in a stall, it may be removed but should be replaced asap in the AM. Never lie down anywhere near a horse.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOutstanding lighting effects, please see it with your children – the ones that have reading skills.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author.”
