Sorry about the wind in the audio, it's pretty much always windy at our ranch so it's hard to do without. I hope you enjoy this video and it's helpful anyways! Please give it a thumbs up and comment if you liked it!
Hi Adele! Do you have a video on using clicker training to get your horse used to you mounting bareback? Mine pins his ears, swishes his tail, and moves away from the mounting block.
I have a.video called "mounting block woes" that should be of help. But it does sound like your horse is communicating a lot of discomfort. Not sure what from, but the behaviors you described are clear indicators of discomfort/pain. I'd be happy to help more if you want to contact me via my training support page. www.thewillingequine.com/training
I would like to buy pumpkin if ever there is the possibility
My horse has recently started turning his head /backing up to get the treat even though I normally feed him from the saddle like you’ve shown here. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way to make it easier for him to understand he doesn’t need to back up and he just needs to turn his head to get the treat? Thanks for your time,
Katie
can you make a video on how to use positive reinforcement while riding?
Hey. So I read your clicker training under saddle video and I have a little question. So say you just get on your horse and you want him to walk forward and he does, do you click with your clicker right away and then halt and give the treat or do you wait to click until they have halted
It depends on where you are in the development of the behavior, but the click ends the behavior and initiates the next set of behaviors (receiving primary reinfocer) . So the click triggers the halt so that they can get the food (if that's what you've trained as the set of behaviors to get the food) . When initially teaching walking-on on cue, you'll want to click for the walk on and then the halt will happen to get the food. If however the walk on is well established and you want to start chaining together behaviors (get on, walk on, halt) then you could ask for the halt first and then click/reward. Each step of that chain needs to be very well established though individually though before they can be put together. - hopefully that helps :) if youd like to get into more details or have more questions contact me via my training support page www.thewillingequine.com/training
@@TheWillingEquine thank you so much. This answered my question. Thank you 😊
I like your side pull set up! My current headstall sits pretty close to my geldings eyes. Have you ever had issues with it slipping off because I see you also do not have a throat latch?
SarahConnorsFit not at all! I've very soft with my reins though or keep even contact in both reins, if you pulled hard enough on one side it might rotate some but I haven't had any problems at all
I've not had any issues with it slipping if it's fitted properly :)
Im still getting the hang of using positive reinforcement and really want to incorporate it into my everyday life with my horse. I love the idea of being able to reward him for gentle stops as opposed to having to pull for a stop. My horse knows how to flex and I’m easily able to give him a treat at the proper time. The issue I’ve found is that now every time we stop, he wants to flex and opens his mouth and lips my legs and boots for a treat. How would you go about handling this?
Jessica Lee I think the answer is to not feed treats from the saddle in the first place but that’s just my opinion. What I would do with a horse that does this is only give them a cue for a treat if they don’t already try to flex and get a treat. You don’t want a horse to anticipate your every move so when you stop at a walk and he flexes on his own start all over and go for a walk and stop again. If he flexes again keep walking. Only when he stops anticipating the flex do you cue him and then reward. Hope this helps.
Jessica Lee are you using a clicker? There needs to be a cue for the horse when they are and are not going to get a food reward. If you are using a clicker than start practicing standing and click/reward when the horse is keeping it's head forward then give the reward. This will begin to establish that turning the head for the food only happens when they hear the click and it's the "right time". You can also email me for more help :) info@thewillingequine.com
Jessica Lee what we want to do is find the moment we DO want and reward that. My recommendation is to just ignore the undesirable behavior and click/reward the moment you DO want. Really quick the horse will learn that keeping the head forward will earn the reward, not swinging the head around. Try not to punish the horse by making them walk on it they "fail" to keep the head forward.
The Willing Equine Walking on wouldn’t be negative reenforcement but be used as a way to give the horse a clean slate to work with and as to teach the horse that the treat is only given when they perform what is asked of them. It’s used the same way as just ignoring the behavior. With both methods the horse realizes that doing that certain thing is what doesn’t get them a reward.
The Willing Equine I am not using a clicker currently, but that explanation completely makes sense! I’ll work on incorporating that into my training, and hopefully that’ll help with him. Thank you for the response :)
What food can we give as a reward for Horses?
Hay pellets is what I usually recommend. Timothy and/or alfalfa
I'm going to get out of horses I'm sorry
