Clicker Training is rewarding your horse for specific things that they have done. The clicker is a small hand held plastic box that makes a clicking noise when pressed. When this box is pressed, it tells the horse "YES, that is correct." Then we give them some food so the click has meaning. Clicker Training works great with anything that you would like to teach your horse. This book is the result of over 4 years working with 50 different horses with Clicker Training. I needed a program for myself that I could stick to. I work with many different ages of horses. I would be working on more finished colts, then 6 months later I was back to just weanlings. I wrote a manual that I went by to get me back on track, and to keep me consistent. I have incorporated Clicker Training with Colt Starting and the result is this step by step guide that takes you from a horse that has never been touched to riding.
