Hi
My horse has had some really bad experiences with badly fitting saddles, and now only has to see one coming near him and his ears go back.
Once it's on, he's fine, but I'd like to help him understand that the saddle he has now isn't going to hurt him anymore.
He is also headshy, and I'm interested in using clicker training to help with getting a bridle on him, although he is much better than when I got him, I'd like him to be happier about everything.
I can see how to use clicker training with the bridle (targeting, head lowering etc), but am struggling to see how to use it with the saddle problems.
Can anyone help with some steps I can use?
THanks
