Do you want to do something new with your horse but you're not sure how to start? Using examples, Hertha guides you from a vague training idea to a teaching and learning program that you custom-design for yourself and a particular horse. It is a process than everyone can learn. The approach is one of 'constructing' or creating the responses we want our horse to know so he can lead a safe, relaxed life in our care. This book shows us how to teach by focusing on what we can do together, not what we can't do yet. For everything we want to teach, there will be starting point where the handler and the horse can be successful together. A good Training Plan begins with a task clearly defined in terms of observable behavior. The task is then broken down into parts small enough so that each part is in easy reach of the horse and handler's capabilities as they progress through their program. Hertha also shows how to incorporate clicker training (positive or reward reinforcement) into what we would like to do with our horses. This book is a superb addition to Hertha's 'Life Skills for Horses' series.
