Positive Reinforcement +R and Sound Marker Training
Motivational Horsemanship +R Foundation Program
Explore what positive reinforcement and sound marker training (clicker) can do for you and your horse.
Learn how positive reinforcement/sound marker based training can improve your horsemanship.
The Motivational Horsemanship program's +R philosophy is a way to motivate your horse without force or coercion.
This +R program works for foals to stallions and everything in between.
Increase tolerance, acceptance and patience in confident horses.
Bring life, exuberance and expression to low energy horses.
Increase self confidence in spooky horses.
Create trust and make deposits in your horsemanship 'trust bank account' with horses who lack trust.
Enhance and enrich your relationship with your horse and have him fully engaged and participating with you.
Identify layered patterns that could be considered dangerous to modify behaviors.
Learn to modify patterns and habits such as biting, girth/cinchy-ness, pawing, and overall fussing.
Create a quiet horse for hoof handling, deworming , vaccinations, bridling, saddling, clipping, sheath cleaning, trailering and more.
I can also guide you in trick training your horse to develop fun puzzle solving challenges for you and your horse.
This is a force free program that uses a sound marker for precision and timing, along with a reward/reinforcer.
Those rewards can be food, scratches, or rest.
Allow me to coach you in gaining your horse's voluntary willingness in everything from hoof handling to ground-play to riding.

Positive Reinforcement and Clicker Training
Science of Positive Reinforcement Clicker Training and Target Training
Positive reinforcement is extremely powerful, and the clicker makes it even more so. Using a clicker will improve your horse's success rate, minimize frustration, shorten the time it takes to learn a new behavior, and improve the relationship between you and your horse.
Once your horse starts realizing you have come up with a way to clearly communicate without the use of force, things will start changing, for the better and, quickly.)
But if you don't take the time to educate yourself before getting started, it may not be powerful in a positive and good way, for you or your horse.
Just like any work with horses, there is a right way and a wrong way, a safe way and a dangerous way. Clicker training is absolutely no different than using natural horsemanship or any other training method. You can't just jump in a round pen with a wild horse and tame it without any training, guidance, or research. That only happens in the movies.
In order to help you get started the right way, take a look at my new online course,
"My Horse is Great Except.. 'why does he do that?'"
Learn the science of horse behavior and change the way your horse behaves.
Understand ‘why your horse does that!’
- Learn why behaviors begin in the first place.
- Learn why they keep happening over and over.
- Get new techniques and strategies that work every time.
- Teach your horse new ways to act.
- Change behaviors you don’t like or are dangerous.
- Grow your observation skills.
- Grow your awareness skills.
- Identify your horse’s unique behaviors.
Positive Reinforcement is the least stressful training method for horses. They are working towards receiving a reinforcement rather than moving away from pressure that causes stress.
Whether to overcome fears, or teach new skills, positive reinforcement empowers you and your horse and progresses your horsemanship.
It's my 'go to' training method for myself and my students!
