I recently posted some video footage of my riding students during
their lessons and I thought you all might find this one useful:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6E0fCabuwcIt shows the student learning to use clicker training to improve
transitions from walk to trot (going for lightness, smooth transition
and willingness to transition upward) and then switching to using CT
to reward after asking for an upward transition followed by a
downward transition through walk and halt to backup. Again, the goal
for rider and horse is smoothness, nice attitude and lightness
Also, just for fun, we posted a video of me and Van playing with all
three of our horses:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqcf6mgkOKsIn this one the goal is to have fun while building all three horses'
confidence riding together in close quarters. In the video I'm
riding Shoki bareback and bridleless because this helps me allow him
to tell me when he's uncomfortable or unconfident and then I know to
slow down! You can't "force" a horse to cooperate bridless. To give
our play purpose we set a challenges of getting all three horses to
walk forward, stop and backup in unison by the end of the video.
Enjoy!
