Horses are clever about when they play I reckon - Echo can throw herself around like an idiot in the field, but she wouldn't dream of doing that when I'm mounted - thank goodness!<br />I'd keep going with the forward command - sounds like the clicker really helps - and do that for a while before introducing some steering - and even then, introduce steering when it's already kind of obvious where he has to go - like coming up to a fence. That way, he'll be clear what he's got to do and he'll start to associate your command with turning.<br />Listen to me handing out advice! Hope you don't mind...feel free to ignore it!! :)Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18404367535441835295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-100039150464612442012-06-15T07:50:54.923-05:002012-06-15T07:50:54.923-05:00i wanted to comment about your comment about the w...i wanted to comment about your comment about the wraps/protective boots. i agree with you that they mainly help protect from outside forces. i've alway been dubious about their abibility to influence internal structures. also, they are way too hot for endurance so it's rare to see them in that sport. but i recently read a blog entry by someone whose barefoot trimmer recommended SMBs behind and she swears they helped his movement. i've never heard such an anecdote before. <br /><br />about your idea of hanging things from the fences - unfortunately ours are all electric. and since my donkey is female, she's not nearly as mouthy as the boys. i have to be careful not to leave things lying around, she even picked up an electrical cable once and scared me to death.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.com
