Part 5 - Horse Behavior/Body Language Study - How to Cause Your Horse to Want to Catch You

Part 5 - Noah gets introduced to the boys pasture and the horses play the same game with Noah that we did. They follow him from behind, then rate him by his shoulder, and finally engaged in some face to face play. Check out Noah's fancy trot. You can really see his personality when he gets to playing with the other horses.

The total length of this demo is 45 minutes, In less than an hour, Kali teaches students how to cause two, very different, newly rescued Mustangs to want to interact and play. The demo is divided into 5, 9-minute sections and posted on YouTube. (Dvds are available for $18 each, $14 each if you join our Clicker Club. Just send us an email to get set up.)

Kali teaches the students how to read the horse to know how it wants to interact. Horses with different horsenalities will be differently motivated. Noah is predominately an analytical extrovert (LBE), motivated by play. Valentine is predominately an emotional introvert (RBI), motivated by comfort. Kali shows different modes of how to catch a horse that work with these two very different horsenalities. For an extra twist, Valentine switches to an analytical, somewhat mischievous, "what's in it for me" mood for awhile and the students have to change gears, learning a third mode of catching on the fly!

This is Noah and Valentine's second training session. For more information on their journey, visit our blog, http://community.equineoutreach.com/

@kootcrazy This is natural. Once a horse "owns" a behavior, they often love to offer it, and at first will do so without you cuing the behavior. Simply ignore the behavior when when your horse offers it without having been cued. Because you are not reinforcing it, the behavior will naturally "extinguish" and the horse will stop offering it without the cue.
