Best Answer

There are numerous colleges and universities that offer equine behavioral courses and degrees.

Anyone can call themselves a 'horse trainer.'

Our present day 'horse training' uses varying degrees of pressure/release, comfort/discomfort and punishment.

But there is a specific type of relationship building format that uses positive reinforcement and established a true friendship between horse and human. This format regards 'training' as the horse and his owner/rider preparing for a specific discipline or activity.

Applying the lessons from watching/studying the movie "The Horse Whisperer" may make you a more effective trainer without accreditation. I'm pretty certain that the horse trainers of the Old West did not have degrees, but they were, for the most part, training "working horses". A study of the history of the Lipizzaner school of training might be in order as well.

Movies are produced for audience participation and profit and are strictly anecdotal at best.

Scroll down to the 'Articles.' There is one entitled 'A Critique of Natural Horsemanship.' There are about a dozen or so statements published in Cavallo magazine, (with permission to reproduce) from the world's leading equine ethologists and world renown experts concerning 'horse whisperers and natural horsemanship.'

Your 6 year old horse needs more riding training and better ground manners how do you train him?

Without knowing your riding level and experience and how much training your horse already has it is impossible to know where to start. Training a horse is a long process that can be dangerous for the inexperienced. If you can't afford to pay a trainer rent or buy some basic training DVDs. Go to a bookstore or library and get some books on basic training. It sounds like your horse is a bit green and he now needs some hours to smooth him out a little. But is is so difficult to explain the training he will need if I can't see the horse. Schooling a horse is very individualized. And not all methods work for every horse. That's part of being a trainer. You have to find what works for your horse. But training at it's most basic is correct riding. You have to be a correct rider and you have to 'ask' the horse correctly to get the desired results.
