A good article about terminology/vernacular and their importance. "Traditional horse training relies heavily on aversives to modify behaviour. This may be necessary to some extent considering our expectations of horses. However, if we are to rely on aversives in horse training, it is critical that we are clear about what learning process are occurring when we employ specific training techniques, so the benefits and risks can be discussed objectively. Consistency in the use of terminology is essential in order for this objective discussion to occur, and confusion has the potential to interfere with our effective and humane training of horses. Three terms are discussed below that highlight this issue."
