Clicker Training Ears and Bridling

2010-01-30T08:25:00.000-08:00

The owner says: Reese has never been great about having his ears touched, which I realized is a whole in his training I should have addressed a long time ago. This past winter, with his heavy winter curly coat coming in, his halter was a bit snug and it must have pulled on his hair around his ears and caused discomfort. Suddenly he wanted nothing to do with that halter going over his ears. He can snake his neck pretty darn good and knocked me down a few times. It was a situation that had gotten out of hand, but I just couldn't conquer it completely after months of trying. Then someone suggested to me to try Clicker Training. The results were amazing. Here is a clip after just 3 sessons of 10-15 min. each.

Clicker Training Jimmi, Horse

2009-04-14T08:59:00.000-07:00

From Germany:

Jimmi is three years old, very curious and friendly. He wants to be near the handler and her food pouch and doesnt know yet that people want horses to keep some distance.

Some of the topics that came up: getting to know the comfort zone of people, taking food more carefully, keeping distance while being fed, standing besides the handler relaxed without fumbling or nipping looking straight forward, being touched at the head/mouth/halter without nipping or head shaking, relaxing while the handler holds on to the halter, yielding to pressure.

More Jimmi videos.

Second Session, Pony Pivoting on Platform

2009-04-12T18:00:00.001-07:00

This is the pony's second session of learning to pivot on the platform. His first session was about 3-4 minutes long (video in the previous post), then about a week later, this session.

In the first session, I tipped his head with the lead rope, and put pressure on his hind end. In the second session, I didn't touch him, but used one hand at his head to indicate "come", and one hand towards the hind to indicate "move away".

He does well with clicker training.

Communication With Rein Aids

2009-03-01T07:14:00.000-08:00

By CIE Studies:

In this video we look at the process of using clicker training to teach a young horse to respond to rein aids by basic flexions. Rein aids are the primary means of communication when riding, so it's important to establish them before actually getting in the saddle.

The basic flexions are forward, back, head up, head down, turn on the forehand (indirect rein), turn on the haunches (direct rein).

The flexions are clicker trained using rhythmic cues. Initially the horse gets clicked for their very first movement, which builds quick, light response to the cue. Later we can click for duration, smoothness of movement and other criteria.

These flexions are the basis of any under saddle communication including reining, dressage, hunter/jumpers and endurance.

Because we are using positive reinforcement (clicker training), the process is really enjoyable for the horse and trainer and we avoid the fights that often arise when working on subtle cues and small movements.

While we are training rein aids, we begin in the halter because young horses have a tendency to throw their heads when starting this work. As the horse begins to understand and respond calmly to the cues, we will add the bit to fine-tune communication.

Horse Lateral Work

2009-02-26T07:50:00.000-08:00

This owner is training lateral work with her horse; and the specific exercise is "lateral movement towards me", through clicker training. The horse is rewarded for moving laterally towards her.

A description from Cheryl of how she worked on this lateral move:

`Lateral Toward Me' (3 ten minute lessons)

Front / Shoulders:

I worked with Candy's front end first.

Near and offside separately.

I asked Candy to bring her nose toward me `click'. I took a step backwards and her front feet started to follow me `click'.

After a few times Candy started to cross her front legs and take a step sideways with me when I stepped back `click'. (I did not worry about her hind at this stage). Once this was firm in candy's mind, I only needed to point my arm to her shoulder- step back and she crossed her front legs and stepped with me `click' (you can see this on video with her offside).

I then had -`The start of Lateral Towards Me' (front)

Hindquarters:

I then went to her hindquarters. I tapped her hip and I took a step backward, with the slightest idea she was going to come sideways towards me with her hind I `click'. (This was all she needed on her offside.)

At the start of our hind work with her near side, Candy needed a "clue" of how to come to me- what I was asking of her.

Clue:

What I did was placed her offside parallel to a fence meaning she could not move away from me when I asked but in fact she needed to come sideways with me.

(She could have backed up or left by walking forward though, as I prefer to work with my horse with no halter etc unless it is used only for a clue).

I then tapped her hip with my outstretched arm and I took a step backward.

Perfect!

With no hesitation her hindquarters came sideways toward me (just a small weight shift) but `click' and the best treat.

I then had `Start of Lateral Toward Me' (hind)

Full Body Lateral:

After that as you can see in the start of my video, I only needed to point an arm to her shoulder and an arm to her hip, step backward and she will sidestep to me.

Her full body is now `Lateral towards me'.

Softness:

The softness in Candy has come naturally while Candy and I worked through what I was asking of her and tiny step by step she `Got It'.

Footwork:

Candy and me are now progressing from my arm cues, (which I used as a clue for which body part to move) to her following only my footwork. This will be her cue for this exercise, as body language works well for Candy. I also like the result to be an easy neat `clear cue' for my horse to pick up on. (which she usually picks)

4th ten minute lesson:

On our 4th ten minute lesson tonight I worked with Candy on her offside.

She is now gliding sideways with me as she does with her near side, in a `full Lateral Towards Me'

There was a lot more `click' moments while teaching this. I am a trainer who looks at - the start of a behavior to the finish of a behavior- as one big jigsaw of a thousand pieces. `I click for each piece'.

Example: if I'm asking Candy in this particular exercise to come to me with her front and she moves her hind instead `click'. She is still heading towards the end result.

Hopefully you can get the idea, but remember to watch your horse, he will 'tell you' when to click. Each horse will react differently when you ask something, so be ready to `click' for the smallest thing.

Video Information, Clues:

Study the video for more clues if you need to, as there is quite a lot of information to find on it.

I love my horse she is such a pleasure to work with.

Enjoy yours!

Cheryl and Candy

Clicker Training for Sheath Cleaning

2008-10-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

The pony that has recently come to stay here for a while, is pretty dirty in the sheath area. I take my time with new horses and don't try to rush into things, so we're just now getting around to addressing the sheath cleaning.

The other day when he was in the round pen, I took a picture when he was slightly dropped, to use as a baseline for reference. He is very scaley and loaded with "stuff". Not much gunk because it's not sticky, it's pretty hard. With the light (and mottled) skin, I worry about something being cancerous.

It must be very uncomfortable for him.

This afternoon, I had nothing on the calender, so decided to *do* nothing. I put him in a small corral and took a book and chair to sit and read. I figured I could click him if and when he dropped. No pressure. Nothing asked. That would be a start to sheath cleaning.

Well, in watching him, I didn't get much reading done. It's hard to read and watch for the slightest try in dropping. Impatient, that's me.

I thought about it, thought about the mechanics, and decided that if I put some lubricant inside the sheath, that would at least help with loosening up some of the scaley stuff, even if he didn't drop. As I put my hand in, I was able to touch him, and clicked. He's pretty smart, and I think he made a connection.

I didn't want to stand with my hand inside of the sheath (neighborhood kids and all....), so I figured if I just put my hand on the sheath, on the outside, I would be able to feel if he was dropping at the slightest, and click that.

Yes, that's all it took for him. He got the idea, and dropped more and more each time.

I got some pictures for a baseline. I added more lubricant to soften the scaley stuff, and altho the whole procedure only took a few minutes, and we didn't *do* any purposeful cleaning, he looks a little cleaner. Not clean by any standards, but better than he was.

As I said, I don't hurry through these things, so it'll wait til the next opportunity.

Clicker Training the Pony to the Ball and Preparation for Laying Down

2008-10-02T18:40:00.000-07:00

I played with Tonka, the pony, today.

We worked on chasing the ball; he's getting a little faster in going to it, leaving me to go to it (previously I would have to go with him to get to the ball), and returning to me for the treat.

We also starting some preliminary work on laying down. I wet him, and found that he is fine with the hose. He will stand at liberty, no lead rope, and be sprayed with no problem. He will also put his mouth in the spray.

After being sprayed, I left him for a while, watching for when he would drop and roll. I captured it three times, and clicked him. He received jackpots of watermelon and peppermints. He hasn't made the connection yet, tho.

We'll have to see how long it takes.

Teaching Pony to Follow Ball

2008-07-27T19:43:00.000-07:00

We are teaching the pony to follow the ball, with clicker training. At first he would not follow it alone, we had to walk beside him. He is a lead-line pony, so that may be ingrained from his training. After a little practice, he would take a few steps to follow the ball alone. We are working on extended his thread, so that he will go out and away a little further as we progress. He is at liberty, the gate is open, he can leave at any time. When we get good consistency at length of travel, we will add a little speed to it. It will be fun to see him trot to the ball!

Babre Annabel Lee
March 19, 1976 – July 20, 2008

Annie, a purebred Crabbet Arabian, was a gift from a dear friend whose situation made it difficult for her to keep her in a restful retirement.

At my place, she had everything she could want—her own space to move in, attentive owners, green grass in summer and warmed water in winter. And people, who would come out and play with her. Annie enjoyed the occasional ride, and we had been working on balance and transitions. Her favorite things were grazing, being brushed and fussed over, grazing, walking with her person, grazing, clicker games, and did I say grazing?

A grand old lady who had a full life, Annie was loved and gave lots of love in return, and will be greatly missed.

Pony Holding Flag

2008-07-08T19:18:00.000-07:00

I was trying to teach the pony to hold the flag in his mouth, with clicker training. The dogs are usually wondering in and out of the picture. This time it was at the wrong moment!

At least we got a fraction of a second of him holding the flag.

Working with a Lead-line Pony

2008-06-24T14:10:00.001-07:00

The pony is learning to target the ball, then to follow it, and to push it around.

Riding on the pony. He was a lead-line pony and no one knows if he was ever ridden without being lead. It seems like he's not sure if he should move unless he's lead by a ground person, so we're having him target the ball, as he did without a rider, only this time he has a passive rider on him.

Old Video

This video is circa 1997, with some bareback and bridleless starting of a young horse, along with clicker training:

Pony and Clicker Training

2008-06-23T15:29:00.001-07:00

This is an approximately eight-year-old pony, a good lead-line pony, but not fully trained. He has not yet been exposed to following a feel, and has a couple of small problem areas and some resistance. The resistance may be due to being uneduated in the area of "feel".

He has only had a couple of clicker training sessions prior to this one, and loves it. He is very quick to learn.
