 wub  My boy is SO lovely, I just had to do the unashamed  wub post.

I've noticed this week that whilst he had been getting a little 'oh, okay if I have to' taking his time to wander out of his stable to the school, tonight he merrily pootled out to the school.  Why?  Because I've been playing clicker and teaching him new tricks.  Cheesy

I've been either doing inhand and tricks or 'clicker sandwich' where we play, then school, then play again.  Tonight he offered me the BEST EVER attempt at spanish walk with 4 really good steps, his forearms almost at right angles bless him.

He thinks that picking up 'his' flannel is great fun, too - only thing is, he also thinks that waving it up and down and flinging it from him as far as possible is also fun.....  until he realised he didn't get rewarded for it!!

Thanks for indulging me!!

Great news! Sounds like your horse is enjoying clicker training as much as you are! Smiley

I love the attitude of a CT' horse they are always so eager to please and get things right.
Think you need to get some pic's of this spanish walk!
