5 Steps To Mastering Liberty with Horses
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 май 2018
- Because so many of my readers have been asking about this, I've created a video to show you the 5 Master Steps for Teaching at Liberty.
But... remember this: these are not techniques. Techniques can be interchanged. These are not rules. Rules can be altered or bent. These 5 MASTER STEPS to liberty training, are STEPS. That is all. Every master horseman uses these steps, even if they don't know it. They use these steps to master liberty with, or without a round pen. I'm talking about true liberty. The kind where you don't even use ropes for preparation or support.
Not that using tools to prepare for liberty isn't a good idea. It is! But what does it take to train liberty, without the round pen, or ropes. I'm talking about teaching at liberty, without ever haltering your horse. How do you keep a horses attention? How do you keep them off the grass? How do you get them to engage with you?
Take a look at the video below. You'll see how well my horse does in one space and how horrible he does in a new, grassy area. See the process. See the progression. See the mistakes and how I recover. See how I prioritize the steps to reinforce and continue the progression in new spaces, where things start falling apart and all he wants to do is eat grass.
I want you to memorize these steps because I guarantee, if you do, and put them into practice, you too can become masterful with liberty. Because liberty is not about footwork, or the horse respecting you, or any of that technical stuff! Liberty is about connection! It's about creating the desire in the horse to "want" to be with you and interact with you. Watch the video below and learn the master steps.
WARNING: I use treats. If you're the kind of person that avoids using treats because you think liberty is only about respect, consider reading this article: read here. What you see me doing in this video may cause you to think that you have to use tons of treats. You don't. But don't be afraid to begin with tons of treats, just like me, then as your horses attention to you grows, you're ability to do higher levels tasks in new environments without treats, will also grow.
Watch this video (about 27 minutes). I left it unedited for a specific reason, and that reason is this: Edited videos can give you a false impression of process and progress. I also want to be authentic with you.
Here are the steps you saw in the video, in order. Commit them to memory. and watch the video to reinforce their significance. If mastery is your goal, join me on the journey!
1.Look at me (face me)
2.Follow me (walk with or behind me everywhere)
3.Catch me (draw and come quickly)
4.Interact with me (engage with obstacles and speed control)
5.Progress with me (invite new challenges up to the highest levels)

Step 1: fill every pocket to bulging with treats 😁. Great video . Thanks 👍 😊
I never comment on videos but I stumbled upon this last night and tried these techno this morning with a horse I’ve only owned for 2 months. I am working on our connection and my own horse knowledge. I walked him with a lead rope first and just did walk and whoa. Then removed everything in a big turn out area and started with the eyes and said out loud “first the eyes, then you follow” and he did! Over and over and over again! Attention to the hind without a training stick when I post the connection and immediately I had it back and off we went! It feels so good to feel successful and the small success make ALL the difference for confidence building. Thank you so much!!!
..... at 60 ....... I have my first ( all my own ) horse ..... not just to ride with friends - but to play with ..... this liberty lesson is fabulous ........ She already looks and follows ..... ready for step 3 ..... thank you
Me too
Me, too.
Thanks for the great video. I would like to add a tiny remark: this is really fun!
I used this on a yearling that had not been touched. His transformation has been miraculous.
I have never had relationship like this. I’m so thankful he took the time to do this.
Glad I ran across your video. I figured most of this on my own, but You've either solidified, confirmed, or added info. Thanks!
He has made the most sense out of all the trainers I have watched and followed. He just got another follower.
I wish he would have shown more with a horse that hasn’t done liberty before so we can know how to start with one that does not do everything we want right away. Otherwise our horse might not do the same things that his horse is willing to because we have not done it with our horse yet. Besides that I loved the video he is a great horseman
Thanks for the response to the video. I have courses as part of my mastery group. I have a full liberty course to show you all the steps with hoses that don't know anything. check out www.masteryhorsemanship.com and look for the mastery group courses. If you like I can give you a free private strategy session with your horse to see if you might be a great fit for the group and answer any questions you have.
Check out Caroline Rider with horse Dulce. Shows the beginning x
I watched this video three years ago for the first time. Then I went outside and did those steps with my horse. They worked right off the bat with my saddle horse. Then I went in the pen with a colt I had been given that had not been handled very much.
It was a game changer for this colt. He went from being afraid of me to being loose n the yard doing obstacles. Even trailer loading at liberty.
Use the steps. They work.
I don't understand how this guy has so few subscribers and likes on this video! This is amazing, I learned more in the 1st 3 mins than I have in other training videos that are much longer.
Thank you. love the comments
@@masteryhorsemanship3555 You're welcome. Its the first video I've seen of your tips, but its top notch. I'll be seeing your others this weekend. lol
No disrespect here, but the horse is following for more treats.
Q: Why the whip? Is he scared of the horse?
Q: Why trap the horse in a round pen instead of out in a pasture?
THIS, is 'liberty.' No clickers. No whips. No gadgets.

@@HeartofEquus The whip is usually just an extension of your hand as i understand it
@@BrumbyHorseWarrior95 REALLY.....
Maybe for some, but I don't need 'an extension of my hand' for a variety of reasons. One being the level of Communication I share with my horses.
Why would ANYONE contemplate using a tool that has represented pain, torture, and the 'master / slave relationship for thousands of years.

You do such a nice job of explaining and emphasizing when NOT to give a treat! 💛💛💛
I really love this. Every rider should be required to work on ground connection to EARN the right to ride their horse. This stuff is so rewarding to the horse and the partner. To old to ride? Injured? Whatever, go establish a relationship with your horse and have some fun!!
Hello
I like this. I sort of did the same with my old Arab, and later my mustang mix mare. They were like big dogs. I could call them from acres away and they'd come running. They got out once and were down the road at a neighbors. I brought halters, but never needed them as they followed me all the way home.
And one day, when I called them in, the Arab decided he liked grazing better. The mare, who had come in and realized I was still calling for the Arab and that the treats wouldn't be given until he came in, ran out to go herd him in.
Ready wish I'd had a camera to get that on video. She got extra treats that time.
Your video gave me a better understanding on being "connected" with my horse while on the ground and developing a clearer communication conversation. There have been times when I thought--great this guy is ignoring me too! Your first three steps were key exercises for me that opened up that direct connection. I love the idea of the training whip using it as an extension of your arm, I use the lunge line with the same mindset. We don't have a round pen to do Liberty work, but we do have a large outdoor dressage arena. I believe using your soft approach and practicing the exercises I can get him to follow me without using any aids. This type of work will be extra special for me since I cannot ride as much as I would like. March 1998 I had a horrible horse accident, I was flown to a shock trauma center in Maryland where I spent several days after being released I spent 15 months in rehab. I was certain--that fall had ended the days of EVER getting back in the saddle, FEAR woke up and took over! WOW--the power of fear!
In 2019 I started volunteering at a horse farm, I made it very clear the only things I wanted to do was grooming and barn chores, nothing more! I started noticing that none of the riders ever did ground work before ridding or even as a training session. That's just not normal in the world of barrel racers (I am former BR). I kept telling myself, "not me, not doing it, if they don't want to do it that's on them". A week later I was in the arena!😳 Once I started doing ground work with Solomon the big Hanoverian is when I realized how lost my heart has been without having horses around. After six months of developing a great relationship with him I decided step up in to the saddle! It was Amazing (okay honestly, I felt a little nauseous)!
I love this horse very much for helping me to overcome my fear and getting my confidence back. My apologies for the long story, but I wanted you to know how much it means to me to learn and understand Liberty Training. It's very special to me since I cannot ride as much as I would like to. I have been looking for something else where I could continue to bond/work with Solomon on the days when I needed a break from riding. I live with chronic neck and back pain it makes some days difficult to ride. There are still times when I need to re-enter physical therapy, it sucks! Thank you for posting your easy to following lesson video it's people like you who help people like me spark a deeper connection with horses!❤️✌🏼
GREAT VIDEO...broken down into simple steps...Look at me , follow me....I love this. And you explaining the when to treat and when not to treat was something i was battling with. I never treated during our work, just lots of rubbing, but i recently added in treating, but did it TOO much and did it when he ask for it, which then caused issues down the road with other work. Thank you for that :) Working at liberty with my gelding, he looks at me and is focused on me, follows me great but i do loose the connection at times but i get it right back and then we follow again . This was a great video, simple and to the point. Love it!!!!
I tried this with my 4 year old and he is a treat crazy horse (my mom spoiled him with treats when he was little). I began doing it in the big grass pasture with the other horses around. At first I used treats but I didn’t always give him a treat instead I gave him patting or scratches. So when I felt comfortable enough I stopped with the treats and now even days after that I still don’t need treats to play or ask him to do something. I repeated this for 2-3 days.
He is also a fast learner and do love to work. But he was licking and chewing a lot as we worked/trained. I felt like we reconnected and he wouldn’t budge from my side either. even tho his pasture mates where not insight he still choose to follow me freely. I didn’t have a halter or anything of the sort. Tho he would buck and speed off but as soon as he realised he was far away from me he came back.
So thank you for the tips and tricks 😊 (information)
Head note - I’m no trainer or anything I just enjoy spending time with my family horses. I also like to find new ways to connect with the animals around me. The 4 year old horse he is around 170cm (16hh I think 😅) still growing. I’m still not used to work with him as we put my 19 year old horse to sleep in January this year. I’m not used to young horses either so I’m trying to find a way for me to connect with him as I did with my horse.
thank you for your comments, you're doing an amazing job
Thank you I just realised what a bond my horse and I have as we bush walk off lead no equipment at all and no treats other than a pay and thank you we play together in the wild bush when I garden at home she try’s to use the rake people laugh at me as I do more on the ground than in the saddle but when I do step into the saddle it is amazing and free thank you for making me see that my horse and I are one
This was an amazing video, thank you so much!
This video gave me such a deep feeling for gaining and building a connection in a very simple way. Loved it. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking for guidance in horse training, having a totally intuitive approach, I was not sure of what I was doing, so much so that I didn't want any people to look at me while I was doing my thing; until one day I got a great compliment from a very professional horseman. But once again I didn't truly know what I was doing and with this video I feel I found the right mentorship to move forward. In fact this morning I started working on step 3 and it worked! The mustang I'm working with only have one eye and has been mistreated badly. But with you in my corner I feel I now know what do next. Thank you again!
You have the best video to teach my grandkids Liberty with their minis thank you so much!
Brilliant training. So kind and gentle, and clearly setting out what to do when things go wrong! Thank you.
...... I keep going back to this video ..... love the way you connect and work with your horse
Nice 👍 training. Learning first and second steps are important. Keeping eyes connected and balance space with him are essential. Beautiful horse 🐎. Your temperament complements the training 😏📖🙏🏽
I like your perspective on liberty training, I use similar methods to gentle mustangs at Liberty, very effectively, thank you for the video!
Love this video so much! Extremely helpful. Just starting liberty with my horse., and lucked out and discovered your video. THANKYOU! Oh and so true, when things went wrong and you fixed it, there is the lesson.
Thank you! I learned so much. I’ve always wanted to do liberty, but I didn’t know how to start. You’ve inspired me.
This is fabulous. All those treats though - I want to see how to teach this w no treats.
Thanks for your comment, you can do this without treats. Just reward the horse with lots of scratches etc.
OMG you are great ones 😍👍💜can't wait till tomorrow to play with my horses 💗😀I do all liberty with my horses, but you brought to me extra ideas to play with my lovely ones 😍thank you!
Great video! Beautiful Land as well. I wanted to do each of these steps in some way. I have a 4 month old weanling coming home to me in October. These steps are perfect 💜🐴💜
I like your attitude. Very calm and relax. The horse feel you and he also is very calm and relax.
Thank you
Great video! Your horse is amazing and super cute!
Absolutely freaking wonderful video! Thank YOU!
This is one of the best training videos for beginners I have seen. I am really new to horses and am building a great relationship with a sweet, intelligent paint a friend has. In wanting to be a good friend I am trying to do some research as to how to better that relationship. Thanks for a great video !
Very helpful, I love this, going out in the field now .. fun ..
So good!!
Thank you, I enjoyed that a lot. I am just learning about the vibe of this. I am an energy healer and just using what I know to work with horses. Such an adventure.
I am soooooo inspired!
I have tried this today. This was amazing. I have woorked with horsemanship for a long time. But never tried anything like this. Thank you for sharing this. My young horse (3 years) had not tried liberty before.
Thank you for this video. I've learned many good things.😄
Had no idea what I had been doing instinctively with my horse was at Liberty! Thank you! Now I feel like I have made great progress!
For a person that gets distracted easily (me) this might work.. I think the "look at me , follow me" stuff is simple enough. I'll start this week with my horse Duke and my rescue horse Otis.
Thank you for this break down! I've done some liberty with my horse successfully; stalling when I've tried to progress. I believe this foundation is what I've been lacking. I am excited to find the tools I need to help my horse really understand what I am asking for!
Thank you for your comment. Here's to your success!
This video was so inspiring. Thank you!!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
I need more video like this . i would like to try get my horse to do this
incredible. I was ready to sell my horse before I saw this video. Now I'm going to go to the barn and get my horse to look at me. I have a pocket full of treats. THANK YOU
The mare that I am working with had her left eye removed about 6 months ago. Her owner never came to see her or ride her. See was a barrel horse. I took her out yesterday for the first time to the round pen, I walked her in showed her the gate then walked her around the pen. Took off the rope and let her explore the pen, after 3 fast circles, she came into me. After that she was with me. She would turn to look at me just her head and come ro me. I would tell or lead her off and she would come back too me. I have never worked like this with a horse.It makes me feel good that she trust me on the very first day.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. You get right to the point, you are consistently reminding us of the simple steps. Your style of presentation is highly professional.
I am beginning this work with my Thoroughbred and it is so delightful to see his increasing bond and trust in being with me. I can now even invite him over small crossrails
and ground poles by just saying 'Come'. The pink and white soft peppermints are rewqards, but even when I just rub him and say, Well done, Jack, he responds and licks
his lips. I use only a 'wand' for direction. Every step, like yours, in gentle. This type of encouragement shows respect for the horse's intelligence, and with some fun thrown
in (I hide treats under buckets, for example), he learns so much faster. Thank you for this video. Superb work.
Thank you. Sounds like you are doing a great job!
Amazing- at 6:35 the horse mimicked your posture! 🐴💕
Thank you
I love this information, thank you!
Thank you I've never learned liberty but feel with alot of work and patience this could be alot of fun!
You bet!
How fun, I didn't know all these were out here . I have just started a you tube channel, I like this a lot, my filly is now 3 months old .
Enjoyed this. Thank you . The process and patience
Thank you very much!
I'm totally showing this to my mentor. We have been on the fence about treats.
Kimberly Wood Definitely, you can!! Check out Sam Van Fleet - she gives Rubs for positive reinforcement
That was very helpful. Thanks!
great video
Very informational!
I kinda like the buck and kick,. He's just having fun playing and being a horse . Good stuff..
Thank you. So well explained
You are welcome!
This is adorable.
Thank you I am just getting back to horses after40 years❤️
Thank you for the lesson =)
The first video I've seen that actually teaches you how to work at liberty. If you listen, the horse would be the best teacher, but its always nice to have some guidelines, like your steps! Thank you. Also, in most videos I've seen explaining how to work at liberty, the horses weren't at liberty to express themselves (they where training FOR liberty, which isn't really liberty to me, as the horses mind is "chained"), so this was refreshing.
beautiful scenery must be in MONTANA or WY...thanks for the video.
i have a mare that came back to me after leased out , you could not get a girth on her and she learned to run away it was to the point i thought she
may not be rideable again , no more bits , and we stated with a pail of feed and let her eat while we put the girth on and rewarded her with treats, she would spin or back up but we let her and she came back to the feed and we continued the girthing and took our time, no ropes no tieng up , after several months she is back to normal and doing trails daily still giving treats and grain while girthing , never was related to a health issues but abusive rider , amazing horse will never let go of her again
Great THANK YOU
Midnite Star nearly always keeps the connection out in the open no matter matter what's going on but we lost it for a few minutes yesterday and he made a bee line for a mare in season. It only took a moment to get the connection back. He's usually at liberty when we are out in the open just as he was yesterday. That was only the second time in the past year he became distracted although he encounters mares in season regularly in the spring. The other time I had to ask him to reconnect was when another stallion challenged him.
I like your method about the 5 basics guidelines. I find my boy bites me now since treats were introduced. I go to pet him on his head he goes to nip by fingers! When we walk he will take a quick nip at my pockets or arm! It seems that is all he is interested in!
That horse looks almost identical to my horse! 😊
Great stuff! Temporarily at a boarding stable (requires rope), wondering what you suggest for tack (halter type, rope length)? Attentive Mustang 2 YO, 1st pass gentled, lead mare type, cookie monster, loves / is glued to Mummy, lightning learner.
Estou aqui pelo video da @Catarina Teixeira !!! Sou muito fa dela !!!
ha e ja agora a matricula dela BS 81 94
This is an awesome video, where can we continue to learn for liberty with our horses with more challenging techniques after leaning steps 1-5?

The lady across the street from me has a horse but she’s a little older and has a cane so I worry sometimes that he doesn’t get the attention he used to get.
So I’ve been going over there and working with him and I’ve gotten him to follow me and move back when I want him too but this is a whole new level and I want to try this with him.
I wish he was my horse though 😩
Good morning. Just came across your video. Wonderful info.
Where are you located? Those mountains behind you are gorgeous. 😊
I absolutely love the respect for the horse. I can't stand the thought of completely dominating an animal that has its own personality. The most enjoyable part of owning an animal is observing their character. You can't do that if you're controlling their every move!.
Great video, What do you do though when you don t have such a nice calm place, when you are surrounded by galloping horses, firecrackers, school alarms at unbelievably loud volumes, trucks whizzing by, loose horses in a 200 over Polo club and trying to do this with a OTTB. Hmmm all seems to go well until the distractions get out of hand and we can t control what others are doing nearby. Thank you so much
Great question, you can do this with a halter on, just in case your horse gets distracted and then you have a back up. You are very welcome.
Ok
Question answered so simple xxx
Hello Mr Jessop! I was ready to sell my horse because it seems our personalities don't match at all - I understand OTTBs and their unique needs but I ended up buy a little appendix cow pony/packer now that I no longer compete in eventing. He's been a NIGHTMARE since I moved him to an amazing pasture with a big healthy herd. We had a very harrowing ride in the mountains - he had completely lost his mind and was so crazy he injured his back when he spooked violently and nearly sent us tumbling down the cliff. I hopped off to see if he injured himself and he seemed fine but dang near killed me in hand. I felt safer mounted so we spend the next two hours coming down the mountain with him being just this side of control but not really. He was coiled like a big spring ready to explode and his head was up in the heavens somewhere. Very disheartening as I've never had so much trouble relating to a horse. OTTs have special needs to which I am well-acquainted. They're difficult animals but I have a way with them. My appendix gelding wants nothing to to with me or my methods. This video popped up in my suggested feed and I watched it. Skeptically. I watched the whole thing. Twice. I have watched SO MANY liberty videos and none of them made sense to me particularly since they are so heavily edited to increase viewability. Unfortunately that decreases understandability. Anyway, I resolved to go to the barn, grab my pony, and get him to look at me with a fanny pack full of treats. I got "look at me" right away. I tried to walk off so he'd ignore me and I could try "look at me" again...but he wouldn't leave my side. Previous to this, i'd stick him in the round pen and he'd run around with one ear to me but his attention and head turned away from me the whole time. His face would be pinched and his whole body language tense. Made me feel like a complete jerk. Since we had "look at me" and "follow me" (left right back turn on forehand both ways, side pass) as a well as hand yielding, I figured we'd call it a day. I prepared myself for the harrowing walk back (where he'd yell for his herd, run me over, head giraffe style...you get the picture) he walked calmly at my shoulder head low and licking and chewing. (!!!!! WHOSE HORSE IS THIS AND WHERE IS THE RED DEMON I KNOW????) I took his halter off at the start of the alley of his night time paddock and usually he'd run off or scatter to the nearest grassy patch. He stayed at my shoulder the whole. way. I took a video of our round pen work to remind myself of this unexpected moment. It took twenty minutes to get my horse back...after weeks and weeks of agonizing and trying EVERYTHING with the end result being my horse hating me. We aren't totally re-connected but his back is still messed up so we have plenty of time on the ground to use your methods. I cannot thank you enough for your generosity and sharing of your knowledge. I feel so much more optimistic and like I can achieve my goal of free-riding by the time he's 9 (he's just turned 7..I bought him with a couple months under saddle - he was pretty beat up from ard cowboying and packing) When I have more work I will for sure subscribe to your coaching service. Thank you so so much. :)
I would love to support you, thanks for your comment and story, reach out asap, let's connect
Hey. This is very good video. May I start use it in my blog also and mention you and your youtube channel?
My blog purpose is to put all good staff and teaching material in one place and introduce good teachers to the world.
yes
Thanku😊
Most helpful, what breed is your lovely boy? I would say quarter horse,but not sure. Do you think some breeds are easier than others?
yes, you got it, quarter horse
Where are you? If you don't mind my asking. it looks almost like Wallawa County in Oregon....but not quite right. Just a gorgeous setting! And thank you for being brave and taking him out of the round pen. I am teaching my daughter to do these steps and she needed to see that things don't always go perfect even with the best of trainers and horses. ;)
Thanks for your comment. Montana is the scenery. So glad this helped.
What age do you recommend doing this with? I have a yearling that I want to do liberty with but don’t know if that’s to young to start. She already looks at me and follows me everywhere
thats a great time to start
Bucking/ kicking out at you is a sign of disrespect so how do you go about that?
I heard a trainer call the kicking at you with the hind end "giving you the horsie finger". I was a youngster when a pal of mine was struck in his head from the horsie finger. I consider that big chestnut to be a disrespectful horse, especially how he shakes his head a couple of times. Stallions shake their heads at othe equines to show dominance during fighting or driving the herd. Just sayin'.
My 9 month young colt and I are both new to training. With his gentle and calm nature, I think Liberty Training is best for us. I have an issue though; Boaz will not eat treats! He does appreciate being called, "Good boy" while I pet him. Is that enough? Any ideas what he might eat? Thank you!
I really liked and understood this training short and sweet not to much talking 😊
Good
Thanks for your comment
Can you do this without treats? This tells me that he wants to do this because of the treats. I'm getting my horse to follow me because he wants to not because of treats. I mean absolutely no disrespect, I would just love to see this with no treats.
Treats add motivation and make it much more fun for your horse. Therefore, they learn faster. Release or rest is also motivation but my horses love treats so why not.
Truth is he’d rather eat grass or be with horse friends but you are asking him to do tricks so he deserves a “paycheck”
i have no problem with this. My horse is in an amazing pasture in a whole giant happy herd. There is absolutely no way I can compete with his horse buddies for providing happiness. When I first put him in pasture I was still his number one because he'd not made friends and life was great. But as soon as he was integrated into the pasture, i became public enemy number one because I took him from those friends and made him do work. I am so frustrated I am ready to sell him because I seem to make him so miserable. But this video makes me think that we still have a chance. I am heading to the barn shortly to get him to look at me. We are going to do that for a week and then move on to follow. we are going to go really slowly. not even riding him now because he's gone off the deep end.
Yes you can do this without treat
Are you located in the Bitterroot Valley in MT?
Wonderful video I've got 1 horses I won't to do this
Can you show a video with the technique for discouraging asking for treats?
Thanks for your comment. We will keep this in mind.
I began teaching liberty to my horse. She does really good with following me at a walk but as soon as I pick up my pace to a jog she takes off running and kicking to the gate. Is this a sign of disrespect or playfulness? And if it is disrespect how do I correct it?
I want to learn how to do this so badly
How do I get my horse to follow “with energy?” She just lags behind
If I pick up my pace. So I’m stuck on Step 3.
My horse follows me everywhere,if I leave her pasture to walk down to the creek, she wiens for me loudly and runs up and down the fence line
So when he kicks out bucking I've been told that's disrespect? Other than that this looks fun to try with my horse.
Excellent!! ❤️ Do you ever give private lessons in Tennessee or Southern Texas??🙏🙏🙏
Check out Sam Van Fleet - she is also excellent in Liberty Training!! Gives Rubs for Positive Reinforcement.
Not sure which I’d prefer??🤷🏼♀️ I will Only buy Healthy Treats for my Arabian!!! German Beet Treats are Great!!
Once I have my horse home,🙏❤️🐎💜🙏 I plan on making my own with No Sugar Low Starch - mostly give him: Fresh Fruits, & Veggies.
I wish that these videos didn't always include horses that are already trained. You are using a horse who is already trained to look at you and follow you. How do you start a horse who has never done any of this? Can this be achieved in a grassy enclosure rather than a sand covered enclosure?
can you do that without a crop ?
At what point do you reduce giving treats? Is the end goal (besides great connection) to have connection without treats? In other words connection for the sake of connection - not food reward every single time? If I rewarded my horse with a treat for every single thing he would definitely build up resentment when I stop giving treats - or run out of treats - that would be betrayal on my part. I wish I could watch you accomplish the same things with just strokes and praise. To me, and I think the horse, that would be true, honest connection sans bribery.
Great
My first question
I live that you sat I like to give him treats but he must not push my youngster just not understanding social distancing I live him but not in my space especially if he knows I have treats he is in my space
my hourse attacks the stick, how do i start? First time i hade the line in my hand and she stick. he attakt me. a just stod there. he stopp and turn rund and kickt but not nere me. he hade full control on the back leggs end was i stod. Ewa from Sweden
