It doesn’t matter if you train in the open field or in a round-pen, with a halter or without a halter, with treats or without treats, with a whip or without a whip.
As long as your goal is to control your horse and you feel safe, calm, and happy only when your horse STICKS to you no matter what and DOES what you want no matter what, there is no liberty.
THE CAGE IS REAL,
even if you make the bars invisible for the eye.
