How to stop getting "help"?

[Ceffyl_Dwr]

The helpful trainer debate reminds me of the Free Britney debate.

Did/does Britney benefit from her father and family stepping in? Sure.

Is she an adult who deserves free will? Sure.

And free will comes with challenges, mistakes, and bad decisions.

Yes, and I’ve also watched people continually fail to “send” a horse because they are stepping backwards or too tentative. The fact that the busybody coach could get the horse going easily suggests operator error that is indeed hard to stand by and watch. That doesn’t excuse rude pushy bystanders. But it does suggest OP has some skills and training holes they should get eyes on from their own coach.

Yes - why I asked if they were stepping into the horse or backing away.
