Brigid, I especially read your posts on that list..I have been lurking for awhile. ** *Blush* I started a little clicker work with Adel a few years back but my then instructor didn't like me to use it with her in lessons. ** I don't use it in lessons, but I do when I practice what I learned. We had, I thought, a good relationship before I started doing the Parelli stuff with her but when I started waving that orange stick at her she ran away from me, wasn't happy, was a totally different horse. ** The pressure can increase pretty quickly with those exercises if you're not careful, and create a horse who is fearful or who fights back. When I went through the Level One exercises, I used the clicker and didn't even use the stick, I just "drove" with the end of the rope. Rafael did not like my instructor and, even though I have not worked with her for months, he is quite nervous when she is in the same arena! So I haven't done much of that lately but wanted to get back to the Clicker training/positive reinforcement with her. *** As you probably know, there are tons of exercises on _www.clickryder.com_ (http://www.clickryder.com) , all fun and useful :-). How's the weather there in Alaska? Is it "breakup time" yet? / )_~ /L/L Brigid Wasson SF Bay Area, CA _www.Brigid.Clickryder.com_ (http://www.brigid.clickryder.com/)
