This One Thing Could Make All the Difference… in the Success of R+ Training with Your Horse! 🐴

Uncategorized Feb 19, 2025

In positive reinforcement (+R) training, we often believe we’re reinforcing one behavior, but our horse may have an entirely different idea about what they did to earn that reward. This little misunderstanding can make a big impact on your training results and your relationship with your horse!


Ask Yourself: What does my horse think they are being reinforced for? Why does my horse think they got rewarded?


Taking a moment to consider this question can be a total game changer building our confidence and that of our horses too. When we align our intentions with what we are doing and cuing / what the horse perceives, we can create clearer, more consistent communication—and that means faster learning, less frustration, and a more trusting connection.


If this tip helps you, we’d love to hear about it!: What was happening in your training, and what shifted when you tried this perspective? ⬇️


Happy clicking! 💙
