Mar's 22-year old gelding
Rodull: taken this
summer, a real delight to ride, four distinguished gaits, a real
"sportscar" , a
lot of temperament, very honest and safe to ride, not the "spook-seeing"
type when riding, only during daytime routine and groundwork (great for
C/T work). I love him and his independent Icelandic-import nature.
Miss Jo being "clicked" while driving. Miss Jo, my pony, is well over 20 yrs. old. She took to
clicker
training like a duck takes to water. It was the communication she had
been
wanting all her life :-) Owned by Marie Gulliford
This is Annie, my 24 year old TB/QH mare. I just started reading about
clicker training on Clickryder, and we're having a lot of fun
incorporating it into our routine.

I finally got some pictures of Skippy doing his two tricks. Skippy is 29
years old. I got him when he was 18 months old (I was only 11). Skippy is
a Quarter/Morgan cross and will be 30 on April 5th. Skippy was my very
first horse!
I taught him his tricks before I knew about clicker training. I used the
words "good boy" instead of the clicker. I have been using the clicker to
strenghten his responses. He goes down for his bow faster and stays down
until I click. He used to sort of "bounce" up and down - he would decide if
he had performed long enough!
Yesterday at our gathering I taught him to target. As time permits I will
continue teaching him new things with the clicker. He was still being
ridden - doing flying lead changes and jumping lightly - until a accident
broke the coffin bone in his right hind (16 months ago). Now he is formally
retired.
