| Oh that's another one actually- do any of you long-rein without a bit in, and if so what tack do you put on? Ted's got a year without a bit as I'll not know if his wolf teeth have fallen out until his next dentist check (and then he'll have them removed if they haven't) but I'd like to get him longreining before then to help his confidence |

| Acacia It ultimately is luck but using maps and capturing on capture day helps a lot. I am kind of a capture addict lol if you just keep going you will lose a lot of money but eventually you might get something good lol |
| Red Horizon Ranch |
| I can pm you some book and video recommendations! Have done a lot of clicker training and really recommend it. It is so motivating and fun for them (and us hehe) |
| Fantasy Horses |
| Anyone know the best strategy to complete this quest? Capture 3 triple Premium horses. |
| Minerva |
| I'll definitely give it a look Red- do you have any you'd reccommend? I really want to get him started with as nice an experience as possible so everything helps! |
| Red Horizon Ranch |
| Min if you are open to it you should look up some demos for how clicker trainers teach good manners. He could definitely figure out expectations around food. It’s like if you’re bad at math you need to practice math problems. If he’s bad with food around you need to practice with him and food |
| Minerva |
| Thankfully Ted figured out FAST that I was a provider of food. It's unfortunate that we've had to annex treats because that would get him doing pretty much anything, but unfortunately he bites like a bastard when theres even the hint of them being around. He'll be a cracking horse when he's all grown up though- even as a gangly baby he's eyecatching |
| FirstLightFarms |
| Oh thats so good! My guy isnt quite "lob a blanket on" level yet but its so rewarding watching how confident they can become |
| Minerva |
| Absolutely haha. I'm really proud of him though- he arrived at the end of May vaguely leadable but pretty much feral and had to live in the field shelter for a week. Now he's out in the field with no headcollar 24/7 and I can lob a rug onto him while he's loose without him lifting his head |
| Red Horizon Ranch |
| Yeah Boulder so relatable. I try to let my horse initiate touch and the things we do whenever possible. Like take the extra five minutes to let her walk up to me in the field instead of going out and getting her, pause when she turns her head away when brushing, etc. It changes the game truly and has honestly completely changed how I go about life in general, for the better. Horses have so little autonomy in our world so the little things like that we can do means so much to them. When I’m bridling a horse or anything like that I notice that they will maybe seem like they’re saying no initially by turning away or something. If you notice and respect that a lot of the time they will immediately put their nose in after, where if you had tried to chase after them it probably would escalate. That whole philosophy just means a lot to me |

| Speaking of training - I saw incredible training with Dan of Double Dan What he can do with horses is amazing I was enthralled with the Road To The Horse exhibition |
| Minerva |
| Haha I'll put a bit less pressure on myself then thank you. I'm hoping to get some poles before the end of the year so we can do some proprioception work because my goodness that boy doesn't know where his feet are xD Plus side is he doesn't mind things being around his legs whatsoever since he's so used to wandering into things |

| No lines, and no chasing. You just don't know our way and I'll leave it at that. |

| I wasn't a super fan of Warwick until I saw an article heading that said something like Let Your Horse Approach You (Yes literally only read the title) And it's made a Huge improvement in my interactions with the horses at the barn. I can have the stall door open and have them between me at it (huge outdoor pen) and they will chose to come to me and boop my hand without any interaction besides standing still. And I saw a video where he said don't touch the horse until they touch you and they will tell you where to touch (Some of it feels woowoo, but it's making a difference in the relationships between the horses and I) |
