You see it all the time in professional sports, tennis & golf especially. All of a sudden a average player shows great improvement when they change their coach. Sometimes it's a better match, some times the coach see things or stresses things the last coach didn't. Some times the player is just happier. Can horses be happier? Why not.
I'm not a horse man, but I would think if you listed all the things trainers do or can do, it would be a mighty long list, legal things that is.
My guess is horses that move forward, for the majority, are simply just that.
