Horses are never too young or too old to learn about clicker training. Horses of all ages appreciate the clarity and positive outlook that clicker training brings to each lesson.

Even very young foals can be clicker trained. Foals love to be scratched. You use this as a reward while you are getting them comfortable being handled.

You can use clicker training to start young horses under saddle, and to improve performance in your seasoned riding horse. Retirees appreciate the extra attention, and the “second career” playing clicker games gives them.

Training Tip
Clicker training is a win-win situation for both you and your horse. He’ll think he finally has his human figured out, but you’re choosing the behaviors that get rewarded.
