Nice! Clearly he is very relaxed, and the trainer is taking her time. I'm curious about the ages of the participants (do zorses become more difficult as they get older? ...and would I (50mumblemumble) want to train one? I have used some clicker training techniques on horses (and dogs, and pigs), and that does work well, though I have heard one excellent Hollywood trainer say he never uses treats.

I wonder how he's doing now, a year after the video. Dancingstripes, do you have an update for us?

Dear god just get on! take to long they get bored and more likely to do something you don't want!

@iTheFoxyGirl if i recall correctly it had something to do with swords in the cavalry. it really shouldnt matter now, unless youre wearing your sword ;)

@yunderup - it's correct to mount on the left side. I don't know why but it just is :)
-
I personally would have taught the horse/pony/zorse/zonkey aka any sort of equine to know how it feels to mount both sides.

Loved this vid, I am trying to breed a zorse, looking for a suitable mare at the moment. What was ZJ's mother like? I would like to correspond with you if you would consider it.
Many thanks

Hes realy big, what is his Mother? I only see smaler Zorses than him
I've read that the best horse training is not very exciting to watch (was it Monty Roberts who said that?). A lot is going on here. The deep trust and affection between human and animal. I love this training approach--repetition of the new thing, interspersed with lots of lovin' as a reward. His mouth says that he is processing it every time. You already have a solid partnership going here. Great job!

@kneller420 Move too fast, and you undo months of training. Just sayin.
