     there. llorses make drivers. drivers don't 
     
     make horses. .v\ poor trainer ean train a 
     
     good horse; anyone ean train a good one 
     
     and that has been shovvn anyvvhere in 
     
     North Ameriea. \obody ean train a poor 
     
     horse. It takes a good trainer to train an 
     
     average or medioere horse and the vast 
     
     majority ol' horses in the world today are 
     
     medioere horses. The best trainers bring 
     
     out that full genetie potential in a horse.
