When training or just playing with your horses, it’s fun to begin each session with a simple trick such as the Smile. This seems to gets the horse in the mood to interact. Manna Pro Bite Sized Nuggets are just the right size to train with. Lady C is partial to the peppermint flavor.
Lady C is a very polite, accomplished trick horse that’s been trained using treats for over 14 years. It’s possible to train a horse to do almost anything with kindness, motivation…like treats…and a proven method.

I've used Manna Pro treats with my horses since I was just a kid, and Allen and I have used their treats here at Imagine A Horse for training Trick Horses for almost two decades. They're just the right size for training, really economical and don't affect the horses' diet.
When we first released our DVD "Treats as a Training Tool" in 2008 I approached Manna Pro about a sponsorship. They loved the idea — It was a natural fit!
We're really proud of the video series we filmed with them in 2015. It was a fun series to make and has been SO well received by the horse lov ..read more

Foreword: Statistically 2% of Arabian mares reject their foals. Could be that they are raised in a very artificial environment and never have any herd experience? Nobody knows for sure.-Arabians have the highest percentage of this happening.
When I have an orphaned foal I try to pair him up with a buddy.
Then I'll invent ways for the two youngsters to get used to each other in a very slow and safe way.
I will try to slowly and carefully allow more contact. They will start out on two sides of a divider learning side by side and at some point when I feel i ..read more

We all know it’s possible to train a dog to come when called but did you ever think it would be possible to train your horse to come? Our veterinarians and farriers too will tell you that even with over 50 horses on the ranch, every single one can be called out of a herd by name.
Every horse can learn his name and to come when called even if he’s in a group. Imagine how much easier it could be to catch your horse when he is turned out or has gotten loose!
We use the horse’s name every time we are near him, speaki ..read more

So you’re out riding and come upon an unexpected gate. Do you hop off and then hope to get back on? Opening a gate while mounted is easier than you would think.
Opening a gate while mounted makes trail riding easier and helps to perfect your horse’s physical dexterity and finesse. Your horse should already know how to side pass a few steps each direction and the halt, take a step or two forward and also a few steps back. You’ll teach each tiny segment as an individual move.
For the best control, the rider should open and close the gate without the horse touching it. If you were ..read more
