Horses love 'Clicker Training'. Also known as 'Positive Reinforcement' or 'Reward Based Training'. It's fun for both the human and the horse, and very bonding.
These 'tricks' are stepping stones to very practical behaviours, because they build confidence in the horse, for things they'll need to be able to do in the human world. Here are some examples:
- Trailering is made easy, because the horse has learnt to step up onto the 'podium', and to back up from the 'tail' cue.
- Throwing the scarf in front of their face is great for desensitising them to weird things like plastic bags blowing past.
- Mounting a horse from the ground puts a lot of strain on a horses spine, but mounting from a fence is less compromising. Also, if I drop something whilst out riding, the horse can 'fetch' it for me, so I don't need to get off and remount from the ground.
- Bowing comes from teaching the horse to pick up their feet on cue. Essential for daily grooming.
Having this communication between the horse and human, helps the horse feel more confident in scary situations. When a horse sees something weird when we're out riding the trails, instead of following their instinct and bolting, they trust me when I reassure them that it's fine. Essential for safety.
Clicker training is used by trainers in all disciplines, as a training language. Olympic level trainers use horse clicker training for dressage and jumping, for a joyful, progressive and rewarding training experience.
Instead of a hand held clicker, I use a sound like a high pitched "Yes".
It's great for:
- Bomb proofing (de-spooking) (sacking out).
- Cooperative health care.
- Trailering.
- Trail riding.
- Western and English connection.
- Trick training.
People are concerned that the horse will become pushy for treats, however teaching respect around food is the first step of clicker training. The result is actually a horse who is more polite around food.
You can learn a lot online. I learned a lot from Shawna Karrasch by signing up for her courses.

This is absolutely amazing. I have done countless hours of research for the past 2 years on less invasive/force free training (used to be a rick gore/natural horsemanship fan) and discovered clicker training about a year ago, since then have clicker trained with my dog in preparation for training a horse. Hopefully in the near future I will be buying/adopting a horse and do intend to clicker train him/her. This is so inspirational and I am going to have to teach some of these tricks! I love how you were able to fade out the treats because its such a misconception that you have to use them for every little step the horse takes in its whole life! You are so skilled and your horse is absolutely gorgeous. I hope clicker training becomes more popular because it is so amazing and the bond and trust it creates is phenomenal. I can't wait to share this and see my friends' reactions! Maybe they'll become more open minded to positive reinforcement :)
Thank you for your kind words. You have warmed my heart.
This is awesome! It shows the end result of positive reinforcement so nicely! So many people think that treats can't be faded out with horses, and that they rely on them for life, but your video shows the complete opposite. Thanks for sharing! So inspiring!
This struck me, too - most clicker trainers are stuck in the treat stage. This horse seems pleased to be with his human.
Thank you and bless you for sharing this. my friend with MS and elderly too a stallion that was wild and ready to be destroyed and taught him clicker training. It went so well he is now a champion at listening and no one can believe it is the same horse. He freely gives as he wants to, these other pushy methods they tried on him and he nearly killed 2 men. Today everyone is happy, it is how I train my current service dog. She will take long to get what I need but the vet already said she is well behaved for a puppy and we just use her skills to shape where we want them, she just is loving everyone and we are trying to teach her where each one of these distractions and behaviors get to be worked. Love the clicker and positive progressive training, it is peaceful and patient. Thank God for Ian Dunbar for turning folks onto teaching dogs in other ways. Keep sharing. Blessings.
Wonderful to hear about the stallion. Thank you for sharing that story.
Good luck with your puppy. Lucky puppy to be starting this wonderful training so young.
Thanks.
Most clicker trainers are not this skilled! Good work, Bob, training your human!!
Barbara Weber MD my girl is highly intelligent and learns complicated tricks within 5-10 minutes. but I agree. not every trainer nor horse get it that fast.
I'm starting with clicker training with my 4 years old horse. I hope we can be like you both one day.
Thank you for sharing!!
Wow Amazing! What a beautiful connection you and your horse have!
Thanks Kimberly. When I first met him, he was quite reserved and aloof. The clicker training really brought out his wonderful personality.
This was so beautiful!
Amazing job! Your a wonderful horse woman
I have recently become interested in the effect of clicker training in animals other than my primary focus - which is dogs. I plan to try working with rats and cats at some point, but horses could go on the list, too.
Even got High breeds In Arabia Who they don't know such a internal regular Practice but by da UK one of da most experts to train 👍🏿
Carrots to Bob 👏👏👏💕
That's incredible!
Thanks for the inspiration! I am a C/T dabbler and absolutely love it.
Wonderful tricks and perfect music. Good job!
I find it adorable that he tries to do the bow but just hasn't yet figured it out. My own gelding has learned to bow with assistance (I hold his leg up and coax him back and down with a treat). He scared himself the first time he went all the way down because he wasn't expecting to touch the ground. His leg touched the ground and he jumped up and trotted a circled around me while I laughed my bum off. He's got it down well now though.
Thanks Haley.
The bow was his newest trick. He's very enthusiastic about it though.
@@jodieforeman he certainly looks excited to try. Just like he hasn't figured out how to distribute his weight yet though. Good luck in your endeavors!
Wow! Great work, and what a good boy!!
AMAZING
nice and very inspiring. i'm going to try this type of training with my boy soon.
well done on to getting them all in one unedited video!
Ha! Thanks for noticing.
Thanks for noticing.
Lucky girl...got a horse.
Bravo!
wheeee cute somersalt!!
Great Jodie! Such a good connection! :D
Fantastic!!
that was apsolutly incredible, can you do a tutorial for some of those tricks?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you please do a video explaining how you taught bob these tricks. I have a 13 year old welsh pony and she loves groundwork and playing ive already taught her a couple of those tricks like backing up side by side but I couldnt figure out how to teach the rest. Thanks so much bye!
I learned from this website.
www.connectiontraining.com
Every trick is taught in baby steps, with a lot of encouragement and reward.
I'm not making any more horse videos though. Alas.
Enjoy your Welsh pony. Wonderful that you love groundwork together. It's so fun.
Amazing! Did you teach all of these behaviours with clicker training, or were the things like moving hindquarters taught traditionally?
Thanks! First I teach the clicker language, then I combine clicking with a variety of methods to communicate what I'm asking for. In the case of moving the hind quarters, I'd give the que, then give his butt a push to step him sideways. Reward heavily for any attempt on his behalf to move himself. He loved that particular move, always whickering as he scooted around.
CUTE!!
That's so nice ^_^
So, was that a behavior chain?
From one of your answers I read in this thread, it sounds like you combine R+ and R- ? Am I correct?
Hi Mary. Depends what you mean by a 'chain'. It's not choreography. They are individual things that I've taught him. I'm just cueing them one after the other.
Regarding R+ and R-. Just like in human partner dancing, the lead's physical cue is a push or a pull, and the follow's behaviour is to respond in that direction. The R- is the push or pull, so I've taught Bob to respond in this way using R+. If you'd like to watch my CZcams 'Liberty groundwork to Under Saddle. Bob the horse. Spanish Walk. Obstacles' you can see how I teach the behaviour at liberty, then I add the physical cues to communicate them.
Hope that helps.
wow amazing! Could you do a how for this?
Thanks! Take a look at the description above. It includes a link for an online course to get you going. Alternatively, look up 'Clicker Training for horses' for plenty of free CZcamss. You can then look up 'Trick training for horses'. I learned just by watching everything I could on CZcams.
@@jodieforeman ok thanks 😍
I do groundwork with my 2yo mare, and she is also pinning her ears back (i see your horse is doing that also). Once young girls asked me is my horse angry bc of the pinned back ears. I was explaining them, that she is not angry, she is just consentraited and focused. Very interested on your opinion about pinned ears? 😊🙏🏻 thank you!
Good question. Horses ears generally point to where they are focusing. In this clip, he's usually focused on me, but he also notices other horses in the background, the tractor, the wind in the trees. When horses pin their ears back as a warning, they usually make an ugly face to go with it. I love how their ears point in different directions, so they can pay attention to multiple things at one.
Wow!!
el caballo lo estaba tomando muy serio
Bob does have quite a serious face, but he is whickering the entire time. He loves liberty play in the arena. If I try and walk him past the arena, he tries to veer us towards it. Take a look at his other videos. You'll see he has that serious face, but you can hear him whickering.
Who said animals has not got love and care for others.......:???:
Do you have a web site?
+Jodie Foreman I'm learning from this website too! Shawna Karrasch is amazing!!! Well done!

am i the only one that noticed the "learnt" in the beginning
Hi Haylee
'Learnt' is the English spelling.
'Learned' is American English.
I'm from Australia, which tends more towards English spelling.
Both are correct.
