DescriptionJeff Lainhart discusses the evolution of training methods that are used to “start” horses. He tells stories about dismounting Rocky Mountain Horses and the horse staying right where you left it, no matter how long you leave it. This is very much unlike other horse breeds. Lainhart also tells stories that he has heard about Sam Tuttle. He ultimately concludes that he would like to see the Rocky Mountain Horse be preserved in the same form as the original Rocky Mountain Horse Association envisioned.
