Perhaps canter on the lunge is a rather advanced , rather than a preparatory excersize . To canter on the lunge without developing the wrong bend requires...
I'm so far behind in the conversation that I won't even try to catch up. But I did want to say a general thank you to everyone who has written in about the...

Lindsey, I have struggled with this dilemna myself. Long before clicker work, I knew a woman who learned to ride and train in the 1960s from an old european...
Hi Melissa, Canter can be tricky, to your point, you really can't work on it without working on it... I've been in the same position as you and this is how...
Well guys, I have gone through some very tough months with my horses. Losing Tigger still has me welling up with tears.I have a lot on my plate right now as...
Hello everyone, I have not posted in a while, and a lot has happened in the meantime. I will have to stick to highlights only, or I will be here until the...

... How do you induce the beginnings of haunches in so you have something to click? Shoulder-in in hand is relatively easy; put crudely, all you have to do is...
... Hi Cynthia, Actually, I do know someone who place a rope around the haunches to help guide the horse and get a clickable moment. But I myself did not do...
Hi ? - I can't remember your name, remind us, please. I would say you did have a tough month, but it sounds like you cam out on top, and Misty did too. It is...
Hi all: I just had to tell you that my sister, Jodie's other "person" who lives a couple of states away, was here this long weekend with other family members....
Well, Cynthia, you save me finishing my post asking Connie, "how?" Now I must work my little brain and figure out if I can get it from that approach. I'm...
... Chances are I won't - despite Connie's instructions about how she shaped it. 1) I am a diletant and 2) both of my horses know haunches-in from the saddle....
To Calimeero, I had not been able to find any adequate words that would console when I first heard of your tremendously painful loss of Tigger. I felt I...

I saw Katie Bartlett's Willie do some haunches-in in hand, and was wowed. Katie uses a tickle under the rib cage with the dressage whip, as a cue, also her...

Hi Amanda First let me give you top marks for trying to explain to your ten year old all about CT. Most ten year olds I know look at me and wonder if I have...

I have some trouble with Ruby diving over her inside shoulder - she really motorcycles in sometimes. I've been working a little on WWYLM, 3flip3. Any other...
Amanda, You might consider putting the clicker inside your pocket wiht the pony, to muffle the sound slightly when in the barn. It IS a fairly sharp noise....
