Steve,
I believe your comment is more refective of "one of the sad, harsh realities of the sport". Some owners can be great and have a very deferential style with the trainer of their horse. Unfortunately, and you obviously know this better than I, many think they know better, change trainers on a whim, and lose site of the horse itself as they become mesmerized by their own delusions and perceived needs. It is the aspect of the sport that is the most discouraging.
I appreciate your honesty about this. It is refreshing.
