Re: [RC] peeing - Barbara McCraryOur son-in-law's horse (Reggie) pees after a ride, on our paved driveway. Mine prefers soft beds of redwood needles. I believe that most horses prefer not to be spattered, but Reggie couldn't care less. Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

I trained my dogs to pee-on-command simply by saying 'Go pee' while they did their mandatory pre-pee sniffing, then praising them like crazy when they peed. Of ocurse it's alot easier with dogs, who pee early and often (gotta mark that territory!) ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ============================================================ And remember, an arab's fourth gait is the spook! ~ Jeanie Miller ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ There must be a full understanding between the horse and rider for entry into the top competition brackets. There must be a confidence established that the desired position is attainable. There must be a caring for the horse, on the part of the owner, so as to not exceed the physical limits in the heat of competition. There must be a well planned training program that will result in the necessary equine attributes. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
