Horse Training: Catching the Horse that Can't Be Caught

Описание: It's challenging and frustrating having a horse that you can't easily catch. Ideally, you want your horse to want to be caught - to come to you when you are at the paddock gate.

In this video, I am working with a horse who is difficult to catch. He is nervous and very sensitive. I need to earn his trust.

UPDATE: Since making this video, I now use positive reinforcement in training. I have added the points where there were opportunities to use positive reinforcement below. Using positive reinforcement would have significantly shortened the time it took for Cruz to trust me.

Watch this video to learn how to introduce positive reinforcement with Clicker Training:    • Introduce Your Horse To Clicker Training (...  

1:27 - The best way to approach a nervous horse.
3:15 - What to do when the horse turns his hindquarters towards you.
4:45 - How to mimic the approach of a friendly/non-aggressive horse
5:31 - Signs that the horse is feeling calmer

CORRECTION:
0:30 I would now use positive reinforcement at this point just for him facing me.
0:36 Another opportunity to reinforce behaviour I want - coming towards me
0:42 Use positive reinforcement for him reaching out to my hand
0:50 Another positive reinforcement opportunity the moment he turns towards me (many more of these opportunities happen throughout the video)
1:06 Reinforce for staying in place when I walked towards him
1:24 Reinforce for looking towards me
1:30 Another opportunity to reinforce staying in place
