Equine Clicker Training Workshops These are practical training workshops focusing on the principles of positive reinforcement training. They are open to anyone that is interested in learning how to use and apply this method of positive reinforcement training to horses and other species. Each participant will then be given the opportunity to do groundwork with a horse, building on exercises during the course to face some challenging circumstances. Booking is essential as space is limited, due to the nature of the course only small groups are worked with. Equine Trick Training Weekend course Have fun teaching your horse to perform some tricks, this is great fun and greatly improves your communication with your horse. It also is a great way to keep older or unsound horses “working” and part of the team. Some basic clicker experience is needed before attending these workshops. You will learn how to teach your horse to stand on a podium, say “yes” and “no”, pick up things and many more fun challenging thing NB: Own horses can be brought for the workshop if prior arrangement is made. Customer comments from the last workshop. " Hi Robyn, thank you some much for the awesome clicker course, Michelle had the best time ever and Spice Boy backed out of the box like a star when we got home". Xolani Charlie: " Being closed to trained horses was my first time experience. The facilitator was clear and opens to everyone. It was more than exciting." Courtenay Brown: " The days events were rather challenging for me in particular, but once I managed to relax I found it far more enjoyable and very educational. I will definitely make use of the training in my future."
Nadine Rapson: "Hi there! Just wanted to let you know I have been working with Sukra and she had this horrible habit of taking off just as I was swinging my leg over her back when I was mounting (she almost wiped me out on a gate post the once !), and after a couple of clicker sessions with you she now now stands still ! I have only been doing it near her friends, so we still have to step it up and take her out of her comfort zone, but am thrilled so far with her progress ! Thank you so much !!!"
" Backing Tariq this weekend. I think it's going to go well. I've been meaning to tell you how much his attitude has changed since the obstacle course at your clicker training w/shop - remember I came to try the coourse in the arvie on the Saturday ? He is so much braver now. He literally changed overnight- amazing how much confidence it gave him " Tammy Wilson.
