Malou training week 4. Building the saddle.
Checking if she is ok with the girth.
No problem 👌

Malou 3 weeks
I am testing Alex Kurland’s Mounting Block lesson.
The aim for Malou is riding but before even thinking about that, we need to make sure that she is confident with a rider on a mounting block, next to her side and higher up than normal. We want her to approach this rider, align herself to the mounting block and eventually bringing the saddle to the rider.
In this session, I am asking whether she can yield her hips, shift her weight back and bring herself forward next to me on the mounting block.
She is still a little nervous in the strange environment. The other horses are in the forest next to the arena and comfort her a little.
She is handling it quite well, I am pleased. She also gets better with the mat.
Malou is owned by Gymnastricks and trained in collaboration with Giulia Gaibazzi, Equitazione in armonia

Au Portugal avec Nuno Oliveira (Dressage Magazine, août 1974)
′′ Pourquoi ne pas participer aux compétitions officielles ?"
Nuno : - ′′ La compétition ne m'intéresse pas. D ' une part, il détruit l'esprit du cheval en le mécanisant à l'extrême. Je suis intéressé pour essayer de comprendre le caractère du cheval, voir l'évolution de son comportement, créer quelque chose avec lui, et ces choses ne peuvent pas être jugées en ponctuation, parfois quand je suis avec un cheval, j'ai l'impression de ne rien savoir en matière d'équitation, que j'ai besoin de tout redécouvrir, et c'est ce qui est excitant. Dans la compétition internationale de dressage quand je vois les chevaux récitant leur leçon si parfaitement qu'ils ressemblent à des machines sans âme... ′′

When a horse arrives in a new environment you have to give time to settle in before even thinking about serious training. My friend has developed over the years a stress free introduction of new horses into a group. Malou spent the first few days near the other two geldings without direct contact. Then she introduced the boys to her one by one. With this system it generally takes 2 weeks to introduce a new horse into a group. This needs to be taken into account when you decide to send your horse in training at another place. We see the benefits because Malou is relaxed even though it is a strange environment and new horses. The training progresses well (also thanks to great preparation by Malou’s owner .hundefitness 🩷

Since May we have this beautiful 4 year old Quarter Horse mare with us. Loved, trained and owned by .hundefitness. It’s a great honor and privilege to receive a young horse in training especially from a professional clicker trainer who brought her beloved horse all the way across the alps. My friend and I are working collaboratively towards starting Malou under saddle this summer. We are confident to progress smoothly because Malou has received excellent foundation training, is confident and sweet and it will be very difficult for us to give her back to her mom at the end of summer❤️

Canter departs are hard. Graya used to be anxious about canter departs and I only asked maybe once in a lesson so she wouldn’t get stressed about it. She is now a lot more confident and I can focus more on quality. Walk to canter is possible but at the moment I decided to get the trot to canter transitions in a better shape. What I did to improve those was to work on MY SEAT! With the help of my Feldenkrais instructor Nathalie, I am now sitting more on my seat bones, more straight and long in my spine and do a lot less leaning forward than I used to. That in turn helps Graya to lift up in front into the canter. My advice, dear friends, practice the Feldenkrais method! It’s so so good 😊

Isn’t that fascinating that Graya‘s mane now splits in the middle and falls evenly to both sides? That wasn’t always the case. Is she now „straightened“? More than she was but she will always bend a little easier to the left and fall a little more on her right. But I take it as a sign that things are going in the right direction 👍

***NEUER ONLINEKURS***

Endlich ist es so weit -
Anja zeigt Handarbeit!

KURSSTART: Dienstag, 2. Januar 2024

Anmeldeschluss zum Vorverkaufspreis von 290 Euro: Montag, 1. Januar 2024, 23:59

Das Thema Handarbeit ist umfassend und bietet viele alternative Möglichkeiten zur Arbeit im Sattel. Gerade die Grundlagenarbeit ist essenziell wichtig, um später erfolgreich sämtliche Lektionen der klassischen Dressur auch an der Hand abfragen zu können - und vor allem - spielerisch leicht. Wird diese Basis vernachlässigt kommt es häufig zu Problemen, die den Spaß an der Handarbeit verderben können.

Richtig ausgeführt, bietet sie dem Pferd eine hervorragende Gymnastik und hilft dabei es sowohl auf das Reiten vorzubereiten, als auch bis ins hohe Alter fit zu halten. Somit ist der Kurs für alle Altersklassen und Ausbildungsstufen geeignet! Anfänger werden behutsam in die Handarbeit eingeführt, Fortgeschrittene werden angehalten auf viele kleine Details zu achten und so die Kommunikation mit dem Partner Pferd immer weiter zu verfeinern!

Mit Hilfe dieses Kurses werden korrektes Führen, korrektes Halten, Rückwärtsrichten, Übergänge, sämtliche Seitengänge im Schritt und Trab sowie deren kombinierte Anwendung zur Geraderichtung, erarbeitet.

Die einzelnen Kapitel:
1. Grundlagen und Voraussetzungen für die Handarbeit
2. Übergänge, Rückwärtsrichten, geschlossenes Stehen
3. Übertreten, Schenkelweichen
4. Schulterherein
5. Travers, Renvers, Traversalen
6. Geraderichtung und kombinierte Übungen an der Hand

Hind leg lifts to a target
Graya tends to drag her hind legs. They often lag behind, not carrying her weight and causing her back to drop. This is partly due to her hock arthrosis. Keeping her hocks bendable and strong is vital for her soundness in the long term.
I am using the pool noodle as a target for the hind legs. Initially, I would start with only one leg, e.g. ask for the right hind leg. When that works for both legs separately, I can ask for two legs consecutively (left, right, c/t).
With increasing speed, I will get a little hop from one leg to the other. This then develops into piaffe-like steps.

If you have introduced the pool noodle to teach Spanish walk, I advise using a different target for the hind legs to avoid confusion. I am teaching Spanish walk out of front leg lifts and forward. The leg lifts develop out of tactile cues from my hand shaping weight shifts, and only after that do I add a cue for forward. This creates a beautiful lift upward before the step as the horse learns to balance first before adding movement.

I got the chance to talk about Blondie’s cribbing study with Sarah Nickels. There are so many aspects to explore and I think I only touched the surface as I am still exploring the consequences of the results. And it’s not only horses, of course. So many behaviors are explained putting some “blame” on the animal, pathologies of some kind. But when we look at it from a learning perspective, the whole story appears in a different light and opportunities open up.

A good shoulder-in works like magic 🪄 Blondie lifts in the front (difficult for her) and the bending prepares the turns when we move into a trot. Without a preparatory shoulder-in her trot is all crooked and turning - especially to the right - feels like a train that is thrown off the tracks. And I am only talking about a big circle here. But with the shoulder-in prep, she softens and turns are easy and smooth. It’s getting better and better 🦄💜

FREEDOM AND THE PINK BOOTS

Goldiamond and Layng use degrees of freedom (df) to discuss the topic of choice. In statistics, degrees of freedom are the number of values free to vary, given one or more constraints. So, for example, if the constraint we’re given is that a set of 100 numbers must sum to 100, then 99 numbers are free to vary but the last number is locked in – it can only be the number that results in a sum of 100. The general formula for calculating df is n – 1 (where n is the number of total values). Thus, df in this case is . . . anyone? 100 – 1 = 99. YESSSS! Let's do it again: If we are given a set of 50 numbers and the constraint given is that the 50 numbers must sum to 75, df = 50 - 1 = 49. Good practice!

As clear as mud?

Let’s connect the dots back to our wheelhouse: Contingencies (i.e., antecedents-behavior-consequences) to see how df fit into modern animal care.

It starts with asking, what do we mean by choice? The penny really dropped for me when Joe Layng described Goldiamond’s distinction between choice and genuine choice. This is a practical and important distinction.

Let’s consider a dog who readily sits for a liver snap, a high value reinforcer for this pup's behavior. If the available contingencies are 1) sit and get the treat, or 2) don’t sit and forfeit the treat, we could say, conventionally speaking, that the dog has a choice – either do or don’t do, get or don’t get.

But Goldiamond pointed out that do or don’t do (get or don’t get) choices aren’t genuine choices because there is only one way to get the reinforcer. A genuine choice has more than one way to get the reinforcer.

The degrees of freedom for the “do or don’t do” choice is 1 – 1 = 0, because there is only one way to get the liver snap. If the dog doesn’t sit there isn’t another option that leads to the treat. Zero degrees of freedom is not a genuine choice.

Here’s another example. Compare these options: “Put on the pink boots or we're not going to the park.” df = 0, yes? We may call it a choice, but it isn’t a genuine choice because there is only one way to go to the park – by putting on the pink boots.

Alternatively, how about this approach: “Put on either the pink boots or the yellow boots, and then we’ll go to the park." Here df are 2 -1 = 1. Two ways to get to the park – a genuine choice. This is cool.

With or without the calculation of df here’s the bottom line: Generally speaking, 1) more than one option for accessing valued reinforcers improves the quality of life. And 2) big skill repertoires are needed to benefit from genuine choice (choice-rich) environments.

The concept of choice vs genuine choice is worth considering carefully and creatively: How can we offer more genuine choices to the learners in our care? How can we arrange environments to support more genuine choices? This isn’t an all or nothing proposition. Some husbandry and medical behaviors may be better taught with df = 0. It is a lifestyle of genuine choice that is the basis of freedom as I understand it and one of the big picture goals of modern training.

See de Fernandes, R.C., & Dittrich, A., (2018) for a comprehensive discussion of freedom as considered by Goldiamond, https://link.springer.com/article/10.5210/bsi.v27i0.8248

Barnabus, the Rat with College Training.
Pierrel and Sherman (1963) trained Barnabus a seriously long behaviour chain through backward chaining. I know there is a short movie somewhere on the internet, but I can't find it. Mary Hunter do you know if it is publicly accessible somewhere? In the meantime, here is the original description

We continue working towards piaffe. Graya got the idea 💡 of the diagonals but she shuffles her feet instead of jumping. So I use the hind leg flexions to get more lift which then, by alternating, hopefully result in a jump. I think it might work 🧐

PORTL is officially a scientific method!!! Outstanding work, thank you Jesùs Rosales Ruiz and Mary Hunter. And Congratulations 🎉

We have an exciting announcement today. A new journal article by Mary Hunter and Jesús Rosales-Ruiz!

You can read the article for free using this link:
https://rdcu.be/c9MNu

The article, which is titled “The PORTL Laboratory” was published last week in the journal Perspectives on Behavior Science.

Last spring, Mary was invited to give an SQAB tutorial lecture about PORTL at the annual convention for the Association for Behavior Analysis, International.

(If you’re not familiar with PORTL, it’s a tabletop teaching game that can help you learn about behavior and improve your teaching skills.)

After the convention, Mary was invited to write up her lecture and submit it to this journal. Mary and Jesús have spent quite a bit of time working on this paper over the past months.

The article went through the peer-review process and revisions before it was accepted by the journal.

In the article, Mary and Jesús describe how students learned shaping skills and research skills during the early days of the field of behavior analysis. There’s some neat history that they discuss.

Currently, many students no longer have access to animal laboratories and do not have hands-on opportunities that allow them to learn about behavior principles. However, PORTL, the Portable Operant Research and Teaching Lab, can fill this void.

In the second half of the article, Mary and Jesús describe how PORTL can be used to illustrate behavioral concepts, teach shaping skills, and even conduct research studies.

We hope you enjoy the article!

Asfaloth was 19 years old on this image. We had been working on improving his trot for years. It was Anja Beran, who gave me the keys to a better trot which eventually resulted in this magnificent elevation. Asfaloth had a horrible trot when I got him, a jog without suspension. It was very frustrating to ride. Neither pushing him more with whip nor feeding him treats would have changed anything. He could not go any faster because he was totally crooked. He fell on one shoulder and the croup overtook him on the other side. Anja told me what was happening and gave me the tools to straighten him. I worked on perfecting those lessons for years and then the forward and elevation came on their own once he found his balance. I then captured those moments with a click and treat and eventually, after years, he gave me piaffe and passage steps. It’s all about balance! That’s what you need to focus on.

Clickertraining für Pferde

Clickertraining ist so viel mehr als ein Markersignal zu verwenden für Verhalten, die dir gefallen. Es ist eine Lebensphilosophie wie wir mit unseren Pferde, Tieren und Mitmenschen umgehen. Wir beginnen vielmehr nur die guten Eigenschaften und Verhalten zu sehen und sehen immer Fortschritte, weil wir gelernt haben auf die Details zu achten. Das macht uns geduldig und optimistisch.

Alles was ich über Clickertraining gelernt habe, habe ich Alexandra Kurland zu verdanken. Sie ist eine unglaublich positive, offene und großzügige Person. Ihre Arbeit machte mir die Klassische Dressur, meine große Liebe für die Arbeit mit Pferden, zugänglich. Dank Alexandra konnte ich verstehen und teilweise erleben, was Anja Beran so beeindruckend vormacht mit ihrer Pferdeausbildung. Von Alexandra und Anja zu lernen und dieses Wissen weiterzugeben ist Sinn meiner Online Präsenz als Pferdetrainerin. Die Kombination von Clickertraining und der Klassischen Dressur basierend auf neuen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und dem alten und bewährten Wissen der Pferdeausbildung, die dem Wohl des Pferdes dient, nicht dem Gewinnen von Rosetten und Medaillen.
