There is an obvious situation with regard to breaking in a horse, when the trainer will end up wrestling with the horse. With regard to the public not having access to where the training takes place, there are many open farms throughout the country where people see farmers working with and training sheep dogs. Therefore, I see the ban on access to the public as causing a problem. Open farms are becoming more common and we need to be careful with the amendment. I accept the Minister's statement that the best thing to do is to resubmit an alternative amendment and see what we and he come up with. We are all on the same track and trying to get to the same place.
