Feeling so lucky to be training in a T-shirt this November! 💖 Huge thanks to my mom for watching Harlow so I can spend quality time with my horse. I truly appreciate it! Would love to hear your training tips and stories! 🐴✨#icelandichorse #horsetraining #sunshine
That’s a wrap! Frakki and I earned Champion for the extreme cowboy race!
Training on Andi is coming along. We’re now double lining in the arena. The goal is to have a rider on him by the end of the month. I am still using the clicker and treats to reinforce. I’m very pleased with how it is working for him.
Our mission? A refreshing canal ride! Perfect way to keep the horses cool while getting a great workout. ☀️🐴 #SummerRides #CoolingOff #HorseLife
🌟 Andi at the breed evaluations! He is as handsome as I think he is 🥰 8’s across the board and just two 7.5 that I will improve once I’m riding him.
Originally, I aimed to ride him through, but with Harlow’s arrival in February, I couldn’t work with him as much as I wanted. Still, I’m thrilled to have brought him for conformation judging. Swipe to the last pic to see my glare over us not being able to trot in hand – but hey, great tolt! LOL 😂
The ups and downs of our training journey. I’m really working towards being more positive reinforcement, but sometimes I’m struggling to have on the choose to engage because the other horses are more exciting to him but little by little we’re connecting for longer and longer
🎉🐾 Happy Birthday to the most fabulous furry friend around! 🎂🎈 To our spunky social butterfly who never misses a chance to protect us from those sneaky dogs on TV, today is all about you! 🐶💖 From zoomies in the yard to cuddles on the couch, you make every moment brighter. Here’s to more belly rubs, treats, and tail-wagging adventures! 🐾🎁 #BirthdayPup #DogMoments #BestDogEver
Positive reinforcement training empowers both you and your horse to collaborate effectively towards achieving your goals. While it may seem challenging at times, it’s important to remember that this approach allows the horse to communicate their readiness and understanding of the tasks or goals. In instances where sessions may not go as planned, it’s an opportunity to reinforce foundational skills, ensuring a solid groundwork for future successes.

“Every day we’re building Andi’s skills. 🌟 It might start slow, but as he solidifies his understanding of tasks, he becomes a pro in no time! 🐎 #SkillBuilding #TrainingProgress #icelandichorse #stallion #clickertraininghorses #positivereinforcement
