Great post Sharon! Clicker training is good for horses. However, it's really good for people! Having to mark what we want is a great way to improve timing and observational skills--both of which improve our ability to communication with our horses. One thing I love about clicker training is it really helps improve timing and helps me look for those little tries.

Great post Sharon!

Clicker training is good for horses. However, it’s really good for people! Having to mark what we want is a great way to improve timing and observational skills–both of which improve our ability to communication with our horses.

I don't know how many times I've told people to not get caught up in my TB's drama. Some of the phrases I find myself repeating are as follows: "If you let the horse determine the energy level of the interaction, you get nowhere in a hurry." "High energy retaliation to threats of aggression will only worsen matters." "The party with the biggest brain is responsible for setting the tone! Don't get suckered into a fight you can't win!"
