This message is from: Steve McIlree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> About six years ago I clicker trained Tank to fetch a stable ball. See: http://fjordhorselist.carriagehorse.com/Steve_s_Page/steve_s_page.htm Shortly after that, Cynthia moved her horses to a new boarding facility to get them off pasture, so further clicker training stopped. Since then Tank has not done any clicker training or played fetch until yesterday. I thought it would be interesting to see if he remembered the training, so I threw the ball and told him to "fetch". Off he went immediately, picked up the ball and brought it back to me. We even managed to refine the trick a little more, he now drops the ball at my feet. The moral of this is beware what you train a horse to do, they DON'T FORGET. -- Steve McIlree -- Las Cruces, NM/Omaha, NE, USA No whisper of lover, no trilling of birds, Can stir me as hooves of the horses have stirred. -- Will H Ogilvie
