However, the fact seems to finally be trickling down to horse owners that horses, just like every other animal out there including humans, work more willingly and learn more rapidly for a "paycheck" rather than through force. Thanks for posting this. Is there a source where I can find out more info?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31184275.post-39576628454723995742008-03-28T20:46:00.000-06:002008-03-28T20:46:00.000-06:00My coming 8 y.o. stallion has been trained this wa...My coming 8 y.o. stallion has been trained this way since he was 3 months old. I have to agree with this study. He has learned significantly faster than any horse I have ever own, and works willingly at liberty in movements that most people find elusive, even under saddle. He piaffe and passages, extends his trot/canter from liberty cues that are rewarded with food. Imagine, if you can train a whale with food...<BR/>why not a horse.<BR/><BR/>As far as being a lippy or mouthy horse, I think some horses are more oral than others, and my horse is a bit oral, and likes to lip your clothing, though I have boarded with mare and gelding owner who did not feed treats to their horses, and those horses where just as lippy as my horse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
