I’ve been studying and learning all my life and I shall continue to do so. My training will be ongoing until I retire (and probably beyond that too). Some of the courses I attend offer qualifications, others don’t. I believe I learn not only from the courses I attend, the books I read and the research I study, but also from every horse I handle, every owner I meet, every professional I talk to. Often some of my greatest light bulb moments come from people who know nothing about horses, and are convinced they’re asking stupid questions. It’s amazing how different things can look just by someone asking a question backwards!
