@angle5daysaweek Thanks. We had fun. I want the horse to have as much fun as I do when we play. Release from pressure motivates, but often doesn't result in the horse being enthusiastic. When I am joyful and reward my horse's try, my horses are happier and want to play with me at liberty and bridle-less. Quantity of reward is unimportant. Slice a carrot into thin carrot coins, a few pieces of grain, cookie dust from the bag, a loving rub when the bag or pocket is empty. It is all good.
@PureBalanceEquine We had such fun. I like playing at liberty in the arena. If I'm boring Tori will abandon me but if I offer her a variety of toys for tricks and patterns, she thinks I'm interesting enough to play with.
this is cool :D well done..... just thinking how many bags of treats you must go through in training :L
