The reasons for horse training are many. Of course, all riders want their steed to listen to them and follow their directions. However, there are more, much deeper reasons to train your steed.

This is vital, not just so you stay safe, but also for the quality of life of your steed. He can’t talk and tell you what is wrong. Having a relationship where you are almost intuitively aware of his needs will bring him much joy. A joyful steed makes a joyful rider.
A well educated steed is worth much more than an untrained steed. If you should ever decide to sell your steed, you want to get as much as he’s worth. Trained steeds are considered more valuable as the new owner won’t have to put in the time, energy and money to do it themselves.

He must understand what you want and be under your full control before you can expect him to move one to a more advanced level.
