Done, although I did not answer some of the last questions (better for horse, less stressful) as I don't know what you are comparing to what.
The terms 'natural' and 'traditional' horsemanship are ambigious and can cover a huge number of different things. For example, operant conditioning is part of some traditional horsemanship techniques, some natural horsemanship techniques (e.g. Parelli) and forms the foundation of others (e.g. clicker training). I suspect this ambiguity may mess up your results.

I agree, Cappy hates Parelli, but is also the most "joined up" horse I know. So maybe a bit more specific?
I answered all questions for Cappy, will do again for Fany.
