Tit bits for horses??

I think the training method should fit the animal, rather than one way being the right way for everything.

"We go to people for opinions, but to our horses for the answers." (Alex Kurland... ) And the response our horses give will depend on how we ask the quesion

actually, I could probably be accused of using a mix of classical and parelli, given that parelli has systematised what is basically intelligent horsemanship.

glad your dog responded

Yep I know; I use positive reinforcement every day with all of my animals.

Actually, I'd be very, very surprised if you do

would you care to define what you use as reinforcement?

I just like to do it with +ve rather than -ve reinforcement

Me too, which is why I don't use edible treats as bribery.

what she said
 
Mine only get horsey treats usually. Usually polo's, carrots, apples, big fibre cubes etc. I keep some in my pocket at all times - they get one always after work and often during it if they've been good. At shows, they always get a treat after they leave the ring - mums trained with it, its her job so her pockets are always full

I do, on very rare occasion, give a treat, following a particularly good day at work. I do not however like to give edible treats to either horses or dogs. They get a good scratch in their favourite places. Any treats that are given, are given from the floor or feed bowl.
