I have thoughts on this;-) To start with Parelli;-) They actually say all the time: it is NOT about the trailer, meaning it is never about the THING we are so...
Hi May, ... Your right and I'd say generally that is true. I have encountered horses who are SO obsessed by the food that they don't walk away when they are ...
... Hi Ulrika :) There is a very interesting interview at WOW Factor Radio. A video interview. The horse guy uses a very interesting obstacale course and...
I have been thinking about this for some time, I don't really know if it is anything to think about, but I do;-) Here it goes: When I do ordinary things like...
Hello, Just wanted to say thank you to the folks who responded and were supportive about my clicker training journey with my stallion, Poet. Sadly, we have had...
Hi Angela, I'm so sorry to hear about your incident. I'm glad that you will live another day to tell the tale--and learn from it! ... It wasn't the clicker...
Hi, ... Well Poet certainly is one handsome dude. And clearly very smart as well! I'm curious how his behavior in the video compares to how he was on the day ...
Hi Angela, Sorry about your injury and having to make the hard decision to geld Poet. I hope you get better soon and his behavior changes for the better. I am...
This morning I went out to see Little Man, as he was standing at the fence watching me herd chickens from the front yard into the back yard. He kept tossing...
... to click ... So I ... Thanks! I at least had some feeling that something was maybe not right;-) At least looking for improvements and allways looking for...
I too am very sorry to hear both of your accident and decision to geld that beautiful boy. But we have to make the decisions that suit us. **I don't know that...
... Thank you so much for sharing your observations. I am new to clicker training, self taught, going by the seat of my pants and there is clearly a heck of a...
... Thank you for that. As I was telling someone else, by way of a little background, Poet has been difficult for me since he arrived at 5 months old. We have...
**I want Poet to have a life** And so he could not be in a better place (IMO). You have never given up on him and are seeking more ways to help him. Many...
... was my last ditch attempt at reaching him before I gelded him. If his behavior was more genetic than environmental in origin, I could never forgive myself...
I also want to add that I SO admire you for sticking with Poet and seeking answers rather than giving up on him and selling him. What happened to you would...
... Thanks, Judy, for sharing this. What a great article! It's good to see training methods finally being put to the test. And I am biased so I admit to...
I hope gelding him does what you want but in my humble opinion he sounds like a dangerous and aggresive animal. There are too many good ones out there and...
... Thank you all for all the support and encouragement - how wonderful and unexpected! You've no idea to what lengths I went to try to understand Poet - even...
Dear Angela, My heart aches for you. It is tough when our feelings feel so much for another. But it is best the gelding is done. And I applaud you for...
I'd said, ... You are doing very well for working on your own. Some horses MAKE us have to bring the A game. Others let us get away with being sloppy. I've...
Hi Angela, I read your message to Sharon at lunchtime and then went out and worked my horses and did some thinking. I think the internet lists are so...
Have you looked at the work that was done with Fig, the mare in one of Alex's books? I wonder if that discussion might be helpful to you. I don't know you or...
