Anna Twinney - Liberty and language; “Come” on Command

Anna demonstrates how she connects the language of the horse to our spoken language. Through teaching a horse to "come on command” you have a partner who wishes to be with you vs. catching or chasing them. You will discover the value of giving your horse a voice during the training. Anna also covers how to properly use food as reward and the concept of the “jackpot”, the importance of visualization in training and why short and sweet can often be the best approach.
