Please welcome Aria Luna to LTH’s training crew. Aria is a Connection Training Certified Coach. Connection Training emphasizes positive reinforcement equine training and emotional balance, creating a compassionate approach that strengthens bonds and achieves lasting results. Many of you have heard of “clicker training”, but it goes deeper than that.
Clicker training for horses is a method that uses a clicker sound, paired with a reward, to communicate with a horse and teach desired behaviors. The clicker acts as a bridge, marking the exact moment a horse performs a desired action, and is followed by a positive reinforcement, usually a food treat, to strengthen the association. This method relies on positive reinforcement and aims to create a positive learning experience for the horse.
We have so many horses that were unhandled stallions (now geldings), some of the ones who have suffered trauma when first rounded up or sent through auction or the way they were mistreated at some point. These horses very positively respond to the positive reinforcement training that Aria specializes in, including some of our more challenging BLM Mustangs, not just our sensitive Arabians.
Please welcome Aria onboard.
