>> The more experience she gets, the more clicks (at the moment BEFORE pinning) for good behavior, the better she will be in the future.<<
My first thought was this was a GREAT idea - reward the horse when another comes up behind her BEFORE her defenses kick in. Then my second thought was getting someone patient enough to ride on my butt who has the ability to keep their mouth shut on the number of clicks for reward I choose to give my horse. Unfortunately, while people may say "that's nice" about clicker training, they generally don't agree and want to eliminate treats after only treating 3 or 4 times, which in my opinion, hasn't even sunk into the horse, yet.
