[RC] Hard Headed Horses - susan cooper

For those hard headed horses who react to pressure with double the amount of 
pressure back, please try clicker training.  It is so much nicer to have a 
horse that will work with you rather than having to have a fight every time.  
Once you teach targeting with the clicker, you can use the target to slowly, 
inch by inch, get the horse in the trailer with NO pressure.  I targeted using 
a soccer cone from Wal-Mart (6 for like $2.99) and used to keep it in the 
trailer. Now, my horse will do anything for a piece of carrot!

Susan in NV     read my blog to see why I ride my horse in pink:

right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned 
if you don't.” 
Eleanor Roosevelt
