Well I guess 'friends and word of mouth' isn't really a sufficient way to check out a trainer, based on your results besides you told me she went there because he was a relative. The question is whose 'words' and whose 'mouth'. Most people don't know spit about training young horses, including the people that advertise that they do.
Advice: don't leave a horse with a trainer that you haven't watched in action and observed in different situations, and gotten references from experienced, humane people in the area who are satisfied with their services and have used them for a long time to do exactly what you're planning on have him do, and THEN, go every day and check on what's going on, and be there while he works the animal, and if the person loses his chestnuts and starts screaming and wrapping your little tiny pipsqueak weanling in ropes and ripping her skin off, load her up and take her home. That guy lost his temper and he took hide off that filly, and when you arrived she was soaked in sweat and exhausted.
