Hi Dolores, You very kindly offered to ask Dave take a look at Aslak's saddle. In case you wonder, I did take photos but am having computer trouble and am...
Just chiming in; Ellen's videos are well worth watching. In Motivate Your Horse she doesn't use the term clicker training (not in the Swedish version, at...
... After sending this off, I realised I wasn't making myself very clear. I'm NOT saying that a verbal marker is better than a click; I do think the click is...

Hi All, I have been 'lurking' (reading & following) emails from this group as I have added clicker training into my relationship/training with my donkey...
I was once working a horse for someone who had a western saddle on him. I
had been schooling him for some time and I was walking and resting him when
I felt...
... Because I had started my clicker training experience by watching Ellen's videos, I started with the verbal marker "good". It worked well for awhile. . . ....
... Yikes! I guess we were both lucky. I really do try to practice what Alex says...above all, be safe...but sometimes stuff just happens! Kathy [Non-text...
... I don't mean to pick on you Yvonne.... :0) I don't think this horse is scared. I'll go back and look at the video again, but I din's see fear (until...
May, Just out of curiosity, how is this mare loose with a short lead dragging from her halter? Does she panic when she steps on it? Has she learned to ...

Tam, If it's of any meaning. I absolutely agree with you. It's trained and reinforced right there on the video. Dolores -- No virus found in this outgoing...
... Some of Ellen's videos are here: http://iceryder.net/ellenofstad.html including one of her clicker training a gorilla. Ellen has a great sense of humor, as...
Hi ... Perhaps there was something physically wrong with the horse. He was clearly quite troubled. Given that, what were these people thinking? Why were...

I'm a lurker on this list, and don't typically post here much at all, mostly because the posts are so info-packed, I need to be in the right frame of mind to...
My previous horse also did this after some NH circle type games at a clinic. The idea was to disengage the hip, by moving the horses nose towards its shoulder...
Hi Kim ... If you want in depth tips on this, you can google on teaching Spanish walk, or a jambe (sp?), which means holding one leg up and not putting it down...

Hi Nancy, I am sure you will enjoy the Alex clinic in NH. I have a friend who was up there last year and she had a good time and learned a lot. Regarding your...

Hi Nancy ... I found the same thing with my horse, in that he wasn't that responsive to a verbal command to back up. I found it helpful to make sure that I...

First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who responded to my questions (in January, I think) about how to get the horse to step under himself, move forward, etc. I...
