<< I think this spring I will do more ground driving involving some of your suggestions and Lisa P's despooking variety. It's those darn turkeys. Osa is sure they are out to get her. >> Hi Jane- I too learned a lot from Lisa P's email, in fact I printed it for reference! As a beginner driver I am sucking up as much info as possible. Re; turkeys. Are you familiar with clicker training? Myself & several other list members (speak up, guys!) are real aficionados of this positive-reinforcement method. For more info, visit <A HREF="http://theclickercenter.com/">Clicker Training for Your Horse</A> . When Jack & I took Fjord Rafael to the "Bethlehem AD" show, I called it a crash course in things which are scary to horses! So much to get used to, in 24 hours! Using the clicker, we got Rafael accustomed to many things including chickens. The exercise gives the horse an incentive to get used to things, rather than just expecting him to do it.
