Thank you for that nice comment! It's all due to using clicker training and following Alexandra Kurland's methods. C/T brings out the "genius" in our horses and make good trainers out of us humans. Using primarily positive reinforcement while training builds the wonderful relationship.
Thank you! Retrieving was one of the early "just for fun" clicker trained behaviors we played with together. But now Charm uses it on her own sometimes to communicate. When she wants me to hurry and get going she may go off and pick up my backpack and brings it to me, or just carries it over to the gate and looks back at me with it in her mouth. On our trail rides Charm picks up our lost hats or sweaters for us without anyone having to dismount!
