Pushy Horse
•
20m
What if you could use treats to reward horses for not getting pushy about treats? This video is great for anyone who wants to use treats as a reward, but doesn’t want to get mugged every time they do. You’ll see Karen with a full bag of treats go in the middle of her 4 geldings at liberty and set them up to honor polite boundaries. The video ends with Karen just hanging out close to them showing that you can have boundaries AND closeness with your horse.

Leadership Through Boundaries - June ...
Karen addresses a horse during the first session of a clinic. The student has no previous natural horsemanship experience, so it was a great opportunity to discuss how to use boundaries as a way to become the leader, and cause the horse to be more relaxed.
