Modern Mustang Training: Traffic Training with Approach Conditioning

Tsuki is a mustang just over 4 months out of BLM holding. In this session I am introducing her positively to typical stimuli she will encounter in the outside world - a person walking, a person with a bike, and a person driving a golf cart. Later we will introduce a person riding a bike, driving a car, and pushing a wheeled trash can. To give her the most confidence I use approach conditioning - rewarding her being curious from a safe distance, then for interacting, then we use splitting as the "traffic" moves in the same direction, and finally we walk in front while the traffic follows us.

She must feel the horse equivalent of an alien exploring a new planet
