  • LUCKY! The mini at my stables is of scared of EVERYTHING. So we realy cant do much with him, but we love him anyways :D btw GREAT job with the pony

  • @horse1246 I have found that with clicker training even fearful horses can be trained. With it for certain.

  • @miniaturegalforlife - Mantra is a Handsome boy....so do you have pictures of your filly? Is she on YouTube?

  • Hello Liedermacherin - please check out the site: clickertraining . com

    Karen Pryor coined the phrase and popularized the method. There are many different ways to strengthen the training, and one way is to click without treating. Another way is to treat with EVERY click but vary the type of treat you use. The choice is up to the trainer and I prefer the latter as taught by Karen Pryor. And I am definitely doing "clicker training" :-)

  • This was absolutely BRILLIANT!! I can't wait to incorporate some of these techniques into training my minis!! Never even thought about using the clicker on the minis!! I use it on my dogs...why not the minis! But LOVE your ideas for cart training!! WONDERFUL!!

  • @Showyn1 - Oh my goodness....you won't BELIEVE what the minis do with clicker training. Be SURE to start them with lessons like "leave it," back up, stand still for the treats etc. Best of luck!

  • Your miniature horse reminds me alot of my little yearling filly. :)

  • "Stand still and get treats, and all I have to do is tolerate this weird leather thing? Deal!"

  • What do you reward him with

  • @glovie2I think a good replacement word is 'yes' also. If you only use yes for marking the behavior you want. I do it with my pony and he has picked up on it quite well. He also really blossomed personality wise since starting this type of training. He was abused by a whip before I got him, and aggressively trained w/NH after that. Needless to say when he saw a lunge line, round pen, or whip he was nippy and uncooperative. Now he plays with my whip and tries very hard to understand things! = )

  • awwww he sooo cute i want him :)

  • does the pony learn to bite? being that they are eating out of the hand all the time?

  • love this video!
