Within the Natural Horsemanship movement, the phrases "traditional" or "traditional methods" generally refer to brutal methods of horse-breaking that trained horses by dominating the horse and breaking its spirit. Some of these techniques are attributable to simple human failings such as ignorance or machismo. Others were derived from certain types of military training that insisted upon complete submission and learned helplessness from the horse, with misbehavior attributed to deliberate acts by the horse instead of a reaction to pain or fear of the handler. Still others were attributed to equipment and methods used on rodeo horses in the speed events such as calf roping and barrel racing.
