Hey group, for fun I posted a video on YouTube challenging people to use clicker training to teach a horse to accept a bath. As usual, I'm trying to promote...

Hi Everyone, We had a nice, inaugural California clicker get together on Saturday, July 11 in Carmel Valley. The announcement came out a bit late, (mea culpa)...
Hi Julie, my friend Beth has used every boot made and likes the Renegades the best. She is an endurance rider and mountain packer. Karen ... From: Julie...
Has anyone had any experience with these hoof boots? Do you have a favorite brand? I'm looking for something not too hard to put on and that'll stay on trail...
All we can ever say in life is that we tried. And Neil, thank you for trying. Sounds like in the end things will work out for you. I hope you give it another...

... << another good place to get information on beginning c/t for horses would be the Clickryder group on Yahoo. You will be well received and get more...
A good place to start is targeting. You can also shape backing away from you and politeness about food from behind a barrier. Get those good before working on...
Thank you all so much for your help and interest. I can't express well enough how much I appreciate it! I agree that staying behind a barrier will make things...
... This is what jumped out at me. It's the application of the principles that makes successful training, not the tools! (i.e., the clicker)! Other than that,...
