    [RC] Horse Potty Training (was Stall Matts) - Val Nicoson


    This is a takeoff from the Stall Matt post regarding
    training horses to pee in one spot.  
    My mare has rarely pee'd when working under saddle in
    the two years I've had her.  Perhaps 2-3 times but
    that's it.  She is mostly stallbound and perhaps that
    could be the cause...but everytime I ride her she
    waits until she's back in her stall and sure enough
    within minutes she pees in her one special spot. 
    Doing it in one primary spot is good when kept in a
    stall...but how can I encourage her to do it more
    while we are out riding somewhere???
    The first time she did it under saddle was when we
    went to our first CTR.  It was me that had to go off
    in the woods, leading her of course, and she cued off
    of me(!!) and she went too :-}  Although this was good
    it is not exactly the type of "cue" I want to use with
    her to get her to go.  The other times she has done it
    was due to another horse or because she couldn't wait
    any longer.  Any ideas anyone on how to cue my mare to
    pee?
