Great video Peggy. It is so cool to see how eager Cajun is to try to make you click!
super good!
good how you fade the target, really smart
OMG goodness that pony is so adorable and beautiful…I def want to teach my 14.2hh pony to follow me, since sometimes i can’t catch her in the field and she wants to play let’s chase Zoe around for 20 min. Even though she eventually gives up. But that is 20 min that could be spent grooming or tacking up!
Thank you! So Zoe likes to play the “catch me if you can” game? Here’s a really quick tip. Go to the pasture with some carrots or a small amount of grain. Walk up to Zoe and give her the grain (yes, even if it takes 20 min.) Then leave. Do this a few times a day or at least every day for a while. Pretty soon Zoe is going to come up to you for her carrot. Make sure you do lots of carrot/leave games, she’ll never know when it’s time to tack up or get a carrot!
I was a little confused about what the purpose of having Cajun run around the gated tree? Was it because he wasn’t willing to move? My horse, Aussie, is very slow. He doesn’t like to start walking, especially when leaving his stall, it takes a bit of convincing for him to get walking. Would this “follow the target” training be good for that kind of problem? Also, when he walks, he is very slow and it takes him twice as long to get to the ring as it does the other horses. Any advice?
Little Cajun is a wonderful example of what can change when you change your approach. This horse really didn’t want to move out. Most trainers would have used a higher phase of pressure to get him to move.
You’ll notice I’m on the INSIDE of the roundpen (well in this case square pen LOL). So what’s keeping him in the game? I have no whip, nothing.
He’s offering all of that energy because there’s something in it for him. A little tiny, tiny bite of grain every now and then.
Cool eh!
What kind of stick do you use in this video? It looks like you have an apple on top of it, is it true? Or is it just a tennisball or something?
An apple…what a good idea! That would certainly keep the horse interested too
In this case it’s just a tennis ball. Mantra had worked with this target before. He had already learned to touch it with his nose, and that by doing so he’d get a “click and a treat.” Then I started moving the target so he would follow it.
