I have a 13 year old warmblood, ex-showjumper. He was very good at his job, and may have been over-indulged as a result. Think spoilt, a bit bolshy but not nasty. About 2 weeks ago I started using positive reinforcement to install some manners, with small bits of carrots as a reward. I am amazed at how quickly he is picking this up, I am blown away. Am I living in a bubble, which may explode if something really interesting walks across the horizion? I know they are not known for their brains, but he is surpassing all my expectations, it almost seems 'too easy'! I have tried clicker training with other horses, but it's a bit faffy and I find this a lot easier. Please tell me it will last!
