Hi Mary, >>>How many of us barge into our horses' space without asking permission? And we wonder why our horses are pushy or disrespectful! Respect is a two way street, and in my experience, you have to respect the horse first, before you can earn respect in return.
Well said, I think when you have to really think about what you want from the horse and the steps it takes to get there it takes much more thought than if you just see the horse as disrespectful because they don't do what we want. I had Alex here quite a few years ago, to teach a clicker workshop, and found many valuable tools I could use. I have seen the clicker bring the life back to a horses eyes and interest in humans that was beyond the small bite of food or scratch that is used with clicker training.
