This sounds like a great plan. I was a non-believer in clicker training (didn't have much luck) until I had to give my mare antibiotics twice a day orally. It took two five minute sessions (and applesauce) to go from rearing to compliance. It was a lot easier for me to grasp clicker training with a specific emergency task instead of general training goals. Tosca sounds like a sensible mare, I am sure she will take it all in stride. -Kristen in MI
