Watched the video at lunch. Very good example of 'finished' behaviors. Interesting about the hostile comments. I guess that if you enjoy bullying your horse as a training method, non-bullying examples either must be dismissed as not viable or you have to look at your reasons for using harsher methods. -- Anna Southern Ohio
Re: [IceHorses] Clicker Training Video by Kim and Van
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J5StnRJAfY Anna, did you hear what Van said about the comments they are getting (at the beginning of the video) about clicker training? One of the things that is interestingly different about how Van and Kim train (using NH / PNH) is that the horse is trained to hold his gait and speed until asked for something different. The horse is responsible for holding the gait and speed, and is not held up by the rider, which is the opposite of icelandic-style training, in general, and of gait training. I think allowing the horse to be responsible for gait and speed without someone hanging onto the mouth is much better for the horse. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com

I had planned on watching this at work tomorrow. I'm off on most Mondays (work most weekends). Its hard enough to watch a you tube video on dial up, darned near impossible to listen to one. Hopefully our high speed at the mall will be faster than dial up which unfortunately on some days it's not. The mall won't let the local cable/broadband company in because they won't pay their mall fees. I got some calls this week that I now can get faster Internet on a few other companies. I'll believe it when I see it. On this week's 'to do list. -- Anna Southern Ohio
