Haha I actually thought I was looking at Auggie for a minute now I know why😁😁They’re both very handsome boys and he’s doing so well with waiting even if there’s moments where he’s going “eh do I HAVE to”??😂😂❤️❤️

Auggie definitely has baby boy energy right now. He’s pretty darn busy. He is sweet, engaged and can be a bit rambunctious. I adore that giant baby! 😍

lovely video! dog trainer here trying to train a horse for the first time- my issue is the horse I'm working with gets quite ansy and bored at the cross ties, the behavior were trying to fix here is pinning his ears back and "biting" (I put quote marks bc he won't actually bite you, just kind of bites the air a foot away from you as if to scare u or let u know he's upset). Whenever standing at the cross ties, tacking, grooming, anything he's upset, but once we get the bridle he's all happy and ready to go cause he knows it's time to ride and no problems under saddle. issue with trying to use food as reinforcement is the second he's done eating he's upset again and ears back and biting and all. to word things better I'm having trouble getting the desired behavior (not ears back and bitey) long enough to reward, he is only rlly calm and how I want him while eating on the cross ties then goes right back to being upset most of the time, the small amount of time he remains good goes away when I have food or have given him food as a reward bc then he wants more. sry for the long winded comment, hard to word this all, but how would u advise I approach this?

It sounds like there is, or has been some pain involved. Has he been checked for ulcers? They are quite painful and far too common. The horse often doesn’t want their barrel to be handled. Of course, the cross ties are where we seem to do a lot of grooming and saddling. These can be triggers for active ulcer pain. Even after the ulcers are treated they may remember the pain that was associated with these behaviors. The other possibility is that some element of the ridden work has caused physical pain or emotional stress. The cross ties begin to predict that the unpleasant thing is about to happen. Again, address whatever is causing the pain or try to address which ever element causes the emotional distress. Once you’ve addressed the physical pain you may need to start the behavior from the beginning to build a new and improved reinforcement history. Take tiny steps and only move forward to the next little step when there is no tension in the face or body language. i hope that helps to give you some ideas. 😊 If you want to learn more, Shawnakarrasch.com has a membership with lots of resources and support.

Do you ever get concerned about them being super far forward or backward? My youngster will wiggle and end up super tight at the end of the cross ties because she's backed all the way forward or backwards. Should I ignore that and just focus on enforcing standing still? Or should I put effort into asking her to walk a step forward and reinforcing her standing loosely on the cross ties? Thank you!

That’s a great question. I have a podcast lesson about teaching horses to cross tie. I go over some techniques that I think you’ll find helpful. Here is a link: shawnakarrasch.com/blogs/podcast/equine-clicker-101-lesson-21-teaching-your-horse-to-cross-tie-like-a-boss

That was an excellent video! Shawna, I appreciate how you both showed what you were doing and that you highlighted that this is about classical conditioning-that thing you stress so often: the horse thinks, “I just love this; I’m not sure why; I just do!”. I want our horses to feel that way about oh so many things that they are asked to do! I love that our horses have an optimistic outlook. Thank you for everything you and Jessie share with the world for the benefit of horses and their people.
