Training for your horse is as necessary as making sure your children get a good education. Natural equine behavior has very little to do with the things people ask of them, and it falls on the rider to learn enough horsemanship to ride safely (for horse and rider) and intelligently. Horses can't intuit the reasons for bits, reins and stirrups: it's when horse and rider work together that they construct a language for communicating. Training your horse is important if you want to work together to achieve anything—whether it's basic riding or more complicated activities such as eventing, reining and cutting or dressage. If you plan to take your horse to shows, you will certainly be engaged in some training beforehand!
