Citaat:Now as far as treats, I am TOTALLY against using treats in training. That is going to screw up your horse big time, because then he will only be motivated by treats. The thing I ask people to think about that use treats is suppose you've been training your horse to say flex using treats. Then one day you're out on the trail and your horse bolts. You want to flex him down for an emergency stop, but hey you don't have any treats! Or maybe you're trail riding in the middle of nowhere and you've been using treats to catch your horse. Suppose you have to get off your horse and then he takes off, and maybe your treats were in your saddle bag! Now maybe you can't catch him.
You might find yourself in some trouble in either of these situations. The point I am trying to make is train your horse with trust and respect as motivators, not treats.
Treats are a poor motivator for horses. They just teach horses to take advantage of you. Save the treats for relaxation time or when putting your horse up after riding.
