Hi, Jennifer:<br />
<br />
I was just checking in, and I have to say it's a thrill to watch you becoming a mentor! Your relationship with Oliver has changed completely, and now you've got Toby on board too. It will take time for people to change their ideas about Oliver, but the proof is in the pudding!

Oliver's eyes, wow, they are bigger!<br />
Toby's eyes are bigger too. I think with Toby that you are finally getting him out of his shell. He looks so interested and responsive.<br />
Both horses look so interested and engaged with working with you. They are in great physical shape too.<br />
Several of the riding masters say that if the horseman trains his horse correctly that the horse will get more beautiful. You sure are succeeding there!

Oliver says Hay Guys look at me willingly listening to my mom... I'm not pawing because of confusion and I'm not standing still giving her the make me look.... even Toby is coming with us.... and if you listen closely you can hear my voice. :)<br />
<br />
I'll be interested to think of what my friend Jackie thinks of Oliver "eyes" here in the last moment when he's looking at you....

The more I hear of your success with Oliver using the clicker, the more I'm thinking I might give it a try with Rip. I use pressure/release with Rip just like I do with Star, a release with her is easy to give/she understands pressure/release very well, somehow it's harder with Rip, not really understanding why that is. Sometimes he seems to find the pressure...insulting I guess is a good word, and seems to become frustrated before he 'gives' and maybe doesn't recognize the release as the…

Sometimes he seems to find the pressure...insulting I guess is a good word, and seems to become frustrated before he 'gives' and maybe doesn't recognize the release as the reward, but sees the release as him 'winning the battle'...Maybe it's just the difference in the two horses' (I hesitate to use the word personalities but not sure which word to use), I'm not really sure, maybe he's not understanding the release, maybe I'm not making it a clear release, all I know is I need something to help Rip and I move forward with our training. Getting some really good info from the thread, thanks Jennifer for starting it, and good work with Oliver and helping Steve to understand it better. Even trainers can learn new things.

Thanks Jackie!! Today I hung out with my trainer and we talked... I showed him something I taught my horse Toby that took about 6 years, yet one day with my clicker.. maybe because of me.... not having a clear picture of what a release is but with the clicker he and I are on the same page even if my body language isn't right... that I can perfect, and I asked Steve for his help today. We worked on, without a clicker, what is your "release"... show me, explain it to me so other people will…
Thanks Jackie!! Today I hung out with my trainer and we talked... I showed him something I taught my horse Toby that took about 6 years, yet one day with my clicker.. maybe because of me.... not having a clear picture of what a release is but with the clicker he and I are on the same page even if my body language isn't right... that I can perfect, and I asked Steve for his help today. We worked on, without a clicker, what is your "release"... show me, explain it to me so other people will understand it.... so we worked on it.. I still think it's nebulous and takes timing on the teacher and the horses part.. but back to Toby. ..... picture this..<br />
<br />
He's at my shoulder and I have a long whip.. of which he has been terrified of, couldn't even touch him with it for 6 years... All I wanted was for him to walk with me when I stood shoulder to shoulder pointed forward and raised the crop.... he would back up..... the cue was in my mind to move forward.. anyway, the second he thought about moving forward when I kept the pressure on, I clicked and within like 15 minutes one session he was walking forward.. that I showed steve today... now toby and I can walk side by side and start doing our speed controls and stuff but he would back away from the crop before. my pony is at my right shoulder and the riding whip is in my left hand, and I'm pointing it behind us, off the ground, clucking and asking him to move forward.... if he moves forward, I drop the crop tip back down and quit bugging him... .. somehow, now, I can rub him all over with the whip...... it happened that fast... it was interesting to me....<br />
<br />
Steve and I both did a demonstration for each other of getting Oliver away from his feed, out of his stall at liberty..... he showed me evertime I lost the connection with my horse.. interesting.... with my clicker I would have had a much better connection, but it forced me to learn how not to break the connection without it.... I think students would benefit from learning the release because I think we do more pressure and not a good release and that is why our communication is lesser than a pro... :) anyway mine... in my heart and in my head I want to give my horse the release that he understands...... but, I see that I am the one blowing it eventhough I wanted it so bad... so when I got to click when I got what I wanted, they still licked and chewed, and they learned really fast.. isn't that interesting??? wow, awesome....<br />
<br />
but may I say I almost fell over when I heard THIS? "Wow Jennifer, Oliver is getting so easy to ride in the last few times... he has such a willingness to move forward, it's really nice to ride him, he wasn't like that before, he balked more".... Steve told me this today.. is that interesting?
