Description
Horse training isnāt a mystical procedure. In fact, there isnāt mystery in the methods necessary to teach any skill. To learn any skill there is a logical sequence that if adhered to, allows a behavior to be taught and learned. Creating a Positive Horse consists of using positive methods, which in turn creates a positive attitude. Positive Horses explains those positive methods necessary to create horses that perform on taught/learned cues, both on the ground and in the saddle that are systematically rewarded, but also have an extremely positive attitude to their trainer/companion. The system uses the method, āBehavior Modificationā.
This book is about:
ā¢ Explanation of basic educational methods using systematic sequences that support training horses.
ā¢ Creating the goals and objectives for each individual horse rather than a āone size fits allā approach.
ā¢ Training using positive reinforcementā how food rewards creates useable cues, instead of the trainer performing meaningless behavior that the horse doesnāt understand.
ā¢ Horses learning basic cues: come, stand, walk on, and halt, which provides safety on the ground and assists in the next work in the saddle.
ā¢ Applying basic training to other equestrian disciplines.
ā¢ Addressing training method failure, because the trainer doesnāt assess the correct the behavior to reward and doesnāt understand the methods.
ā¢ Horse case studies exemplifying the use of behavioral methods.
