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.

Thanks for the feedback

Most of the journals I looked at in my research compared 'sympathetic'/ 'natural' horsemanship to 'traditional'/ 'conventional' horsemanship, so myself and my supervisor felt this was the best way to go about it

I had to be careful talking about types of reinforcement, operant conditioning etc as they may not be clear to some people. Through the literature review and research I did, looking at current research / journals, I found that this was a common way of comparing techniques, and after MUCH stressing and redrafting my supervisor said this was the best way. looking at some of the results offered already on the 'which natutral horsemanship method have you used', people do seem to be interpreting correctly, saying monty roberts, parelli, kelly marks etc. All of these things are things that can all be mentioned in my discussion though, so thank you

Thanks everyone for the replies, the response has been amazing and I want to say a big thank you to you all!
