| Everyone involved with horses wants them to consistently behave well and perform to the best of their ability and knowledge. But many horses simply do not co-operate - because they are not motivated to do so. The On Target Training system can change their attitude.
This proven new method combines the basics of 'clicker' training, widely used on marine mammals and dogs, with a step-by-step 'target' system that assures training success for horses of any breed or age. Unlike other training systems the emphasis is on giving a positive reward rather than simply removing a negative stimulus. Clicker training initially motivates a horse to perform correctly because the handler rewards him every single time he does what is required. Later, the horse will come to associate the clicker with an upcoming reward, so the rider can 'tell' the horse that he has performed correctly without having to stop and give him a treat. This frees the rider to continue the movement he/she is performing while communicating to the horse that he is doing it right. Target-training takes reinforcement of correct behaviour a stage further. The 'target' is a tool that the horse learns to focus on completely. Because the horse is motivated to perform well to gain his reward, he can be trained to happily follow the person holding the target. On Target Training helps horses to: · have better stable manners · load into trailers and horseboxes · accommodate farriers and vets · accept clipping and washing · halter and bridle with ease · lunge obediently · stand quietly for mounting · pick up correct canter leads · rein back · leg-yield · jump without rushing Shawna Karrasch spent ten years as an animal trainer at Sea World in California. When she took up riding and married Vinton Karrasch, a grand prix show jumper, she became fascinated with the idea of applying reward-reinforcement training to horses. Together they produced a breakthrough training system that can produce astounding results. Arlene Newman is a journalist specialising in equestrian sports.
