I have had my horse for a year, and until I started Clicker training, I lived in daily fear. I have a trainer, and he has helped, but I never could seem to communicate with my horse. My trainer has a more aggressive tempermant than me, and I never really could fight the fight. I am so glad I have another way of communication. I am clicking all around the barn, and sometimes I get some strange looks, but as my 18 H horse lowers his head to let me bridle him, and he stands quietly without cross ties....(he is only 5). I am feeling really good. Thanks for this method, and the wonderful books. IT has made me love to be with my Big Guy, and much more aware and patient.

Good luck with your "Big Guy"
Hang in there. The head turns will soon turn to questions of curiosity when they see your success. Congrads.
