The Honu-Boboman thread reminded me of this and I thought I'd post it. The only thing better than information from the excercise rider would be info from the horse him/her self. Since this audience includes horse trainers,owners, and others in the industry, I think some may be interested. I came across this man in a radio interview some years ago (I have no personal knowledge of what he does, have just heard him speak and read some articles). He claims to be an "animal communicator", and has had some involvement with race horses. I am not issuing judgement on his legitimacy, just passing this along, perhaps creating some discussion.
Here is a link to an article:
