In this video I show you how I start to teach clicker training/positive reinforcement training/+R with a completely wild horse. The biggest issue people run into is that most of these horses have no idea what a treat is and are too afraid to eat from your hand. This is one of the many techniques I use to start to introduce this training early in a wild horse's gentling journey.
We have Pelos in this video who we picked up less than a week ago for Isidro to train for the 2021 Kentucky Virtual Extreme Mustang Makeover. He didn't want to eat much at all the first few days he was at our ranch so we took training super slow until he relaxed enough to want to eat his hay and now he is eating his pellets. Sometimes they just need a few days to chill and adjust to their new surroundings before serious training starts. It is easy to get caught up in the pressure of the competition but it is never ok to sacrifice the horse's well-being to that end. We try our best to let the horses tell us what they can and can't handle training wise. This guy is super special and whoever wins him at the auction in June after the competition will be getting an incredible horse!
Pelos will be available to bid on June 23-26 during an online auction after the Makeover (link will be provided on our Facebook page and www.extrememustangmakeover.com). You can watch the makeover online June 23-26 on the Extreme Mustang Makeover Facebook page and CZcams Channel.

I’m so excited to see your progress with Pelo. He has a kind eye. You both are so good with all your animals! Thanks for letting us watch!
This horse is awesome.
I love this horse. He has such an expressive, cute, just a pretty face
Congrats!!!!! Pelosi went for over 22,000.00. What a wonderful horse and fabulous trainer.
This is a fascinating video. What a kind way to train.
This was very helpful thank you. I have a new mustang coming and although she will be gentled I needed the very beginning basics to start with clicker training for her. I will be new to her.
Thanks, great explanation.
Hi
Thank for great video and he's a pretty boy❤
I’ve been looking a lot into positive reinforcement and want to use this method with my mustang that I’m getting. Do you use traditional methods then before this? Until they feel comfortable being around you. I’ve seen virtually zero info on starting from scratch with R+ on a mustang. I’m curious on how that looks from day one.
Question though, isn’t your presence essentially an added pressure and when you walk away after treating him you’re applying negative reinforcement?
Hi ,I noticed the horse in the other pen with a drag rope on . How long do you leave the rope on ? Thanks
Less than a week, usually only a few days. That horse has had it for two days and it will come off probably tomorrow for a total of 4 days. Never more than a week
I like your format but I don't understand why you throwing the treats into the pan and not giving him the chance eating them.
Also, he stood in a corner and instead of waiting till he comes to you, you applied more pressure with coming towards him. He seems to be handling it ok but there are other horses who would just panic.
My horse choked on alfalfa cubes.
Sorry to hear that. We only use soft grass/oat cubes or alfalfa/grass or alfalfa/oat cubes that I break up for treats. Never has a problem.
@@IsidroEspinozaHorsemanship it was scary and very educational. Since then I soak most "pressed" pellets for that horse, simply because I'm paranoid and I guess the risk is higher if it happens once. But it was so scary, I commented without thinking as soon as I saw cubes in the tub.🤣 You guys know your s#$t, you don't need me telling you nothing!
