[RC] Mouth work - clicker training - Sheila_LarsenI agree with Susan, clicker training would probably serve you very well with this type of issue. And hey if you try it you may never stop using it, whole new way of working with your horse. With all due respect to Ranelle, if you back off once she is agitated she may be "clicker" training you not to approach her ( if what I am remembering correctly what Ranelle said, my apologies and if we ever actually do go riding together she can thwap in person). The John Lyons method of approach and retreat would be compatible with clicker training with just the added incentive of getting a treat so she knows where she had done the correct thing. In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. Eleven-hundred pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster. ~Author Unknown =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
