My first thought is there might be some truth to this, that maybe it does make us recognize the slightest try in the horse, I believe that clicker training helped me to be more consciously aware of it. I also believe that clicker training helps to get the interest of the horse, and we really need their attention before we can do much else. I have been able to get the attention of young, easily distractable horses, when lot of stuff is going on, with the clicker, they hear that sound and everything else goes away, at least for a moment.
