"Oh man, I know my horse needs it, but..."

Jenn wasn't sure she knew enough - she'd never been to a R+ clinic. Her horse was so green. "Oh man, should I do this thing???"

• She wasn't sure if her horse had enough miles on him - barely any was the reality. 
• She wasn't sure if she'd feel judged or embarrassed. On the fence...considering a R+ Clinic but hesitating -Would he even get on the trailer - not sure. 

She took a leap of faith for her horse's sake. Hear how it turned out.  See how it went for her, her horse and other participants and auditors. ✨

THOUGHTS FROM MELISSA: You don't have to be all in on +R Training to try it. You only need to have a desire to communicate clearly in a way that your horse values and finds reinforcing!
Sometimes, we get in our own way: Asking all the WHAT IF questions, doubting our own abilities to follow the lead of those we trust to mentor us. All it takes is awareness to turn this around, which is why we're sharing this video with you.

Even if you aren't thinking of going to a clinic anytime soon, if you're interested in R+ and thinking of attending a +R or clicker training event, (especially one of my events) - live or online - chances are you'll still find this video helpful if not inspiring no or for future.
 
If you're thinking of going to a clinic, any clinic  - and you have doubts - I encourage you to speak the clinician. Get their opinion as to if you and/or your horse will find their event a good match at the time. I want the best outcome for you and your horse and am happy to help you think through things when it comes to making a positively reinforcing decision! And remember, the # 1 thing to do before you go anywhere is to give yourself and your horse plenty of time to load. We've got some great resources coming out on this soon too.
