Clicker Training Head Down Under Saddle

In this video Kim transfers what she has taught Shoki on-line (trotting with his head down) to their under saddle work. You can see Shoki experimenting and really thinking about stretching his neck and topline -- something he had never learned to do before in 19 years of life!

How do you know exactly what behavior the horse thinks it is being rewarded for? For example... you reward for head down but perhaps the horse is giving head down and at the same time staring at the ground directly in front of itself. So it thinks it is being rewarded for staring at the ground while it walks but you are rewarding for the head down. Does that question make sense?

@BlazingAva wow u seriously do not understand clicker training! u should do a bit of reasearch before u go fireing off nast coments! clicker training is a great tool keep up the good work Ksturg8929!

this is a genuine question not a criticism so no body go crazy at me k lol.

are u clicking it while it is trotting with its head lowered, then halting to give the treat? or are u just halting and treating? cos would that not just make the horse think that it is being treated for the halt? does it know that u are treating it for the low head carriage at the trot?

i dont know alot about clicker training so im not trying to sound like i know all and u are wrong just trying to learn a bit bout it

Nice work Kim. I can definitely see where you're heading to with this.

For those who are wanting to learn, I chose to use Clicker Training with my Arab, because he had been started badly with traditional training methods. He was tuned out and disengaged emotionally after having been ill-started and then ignored for years in a pasture.

Some horses need different motivations to accept humans again. Which is a sad commentary on humans.

I've been watching many of your videos today--I would love to explore more with clicker training and I'd like to see if I can help some of the horses with their behaviors/training at my barn.

Ok you don't know me. Thats a good thing I don't want to know you I'd probably end up killing you if I did because you're a pain in the ass. But until you know me don't you dare tell me I won't make it. I'll be a better horseman than you. Ha I'm probably already there now.

Blazingava,You seem to have kind of a nasty temper & an unwillingness to learn. Your not going to make it as a trainer.

[BlazingAva]

Wait did I say that...wow no I didn't. Just because I don't need and idiots advice doesn't mean I have nothing to learn. It means I have nothing to learn from you. Unless that is I want to know what NOT to be like.
