This message is from: "DT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am training a young filly. I have never trained a horse before so actually I am being trained and then showing her, if you know what I mean. I tend to follow in the "way of" John Lyons just because I can understand his books. I decided adding a clicker would be helpful for me to focus and be better at identifying that "little" gain.
I must say that today I was most proud of her. It was time to worm and it was her first time with a paste. She had been on a daily dewormer. Well, a couple of weeks ago I began leaving an empty tube in her feed bin. I would play with it while she was eating and then put it back down on her food. I would then put a bit of molasses on the end and have her take it in her mouth. So, today it was the easiest thing I have ever done. I have wormed older "trained" horses before that caused a huge commotion when trying to give them their worm paste. Anyway it was a Lyon's tid bit that worked well for me and for Cassie. She is about 1.5 and is an appendix quarter horse. She did better than Lars!! Now to work on Lars. :-) Deb
