Many trainers dislike the use of treats for training. Some even say
we shouldn't talk to our horses. Training should all be based upon
body language, just as the horses use with each other in the herd.
We believe that the horse's language is important because once the
horse understands that you know his language, once you have given
him the choice of trusting you, of being in relationship with you,
and once you have proven your leadership to the horse then he has a
clear capability to grow and understand our language. To learn
things he might not have ever had the chance to learn if he had
remained in a herd somewhere. Sort of like you grew when you went
off to school. I believe that horses love that opportunity to grow
with you, and have fun with you... to learn new things and be
rewarded in a positive way that they truly enjoy. I also believe
that they love being able to speak to you, to initiate
conversation. Like Cash does when he walks up and offers his big
toothy smile, saying, Might I have a treat please? Teaching the
horse that you understand his herd language - the use of pressure
and release of that pressure - is a must in the beginning. But we
now know that communication increases exponentially, both in
comprehension and speed of learning, when treats are strategically
used. I suppose it comes from so many years working with Benji
before horses, and finally drawing the conclusion that whatever a
dog can learn, a horse can learn as well because, with treats, they
both want to learn.. And the horse will be just as happy about
showing off as Benji is. Believe it or not, now all backed up by a
new scientific study. Come with us as we step outside the box and
discover how to give our horses a new and exciting way to learn,
and communicate with us... and have fun Whoa Hold on there. Have we
stumbled onto something that actually teaches the horse and the
horse enjoys it, thinks it's fun? Yes, we did. And with this book
we share it all with you. The stories you love and the information
you need will always be with you. What Readers and Critics Are
