I recently took this class with Marina and can't say enough good things about it!! It totally turned things around for me with my Haflinger colt.
Thank you Brie! ♥️ can’t wait to see the places you two go!
Once you get a taste of it, you never go back. It's, at times, painful being different, seeing the stress and pain responses being written off to "quirks", "personality traits" or "b*chyness". Seeing the horses suffer in isolation. But so rewarding seein YOUR horses open up, enjoy training and for once be completely safe to be around. Positive reinforcement is hands down the best training "method" for not only horses, but other animals too. And what's womderful about it, is that you have to understand learning theory, fufill their needs, understand stress/pain signals and so much more in order for it to be effective, that way the horses are so SO much happier and in return the humans are too. Nothing speaks better about positive reinforcement than the feeling of complete safety during the first ride on your youngster, tackless and in the paddock. Absolutelly love it and love to see other people passionate about R+!
It’s true!
What wonderful perspective you have.
That is so cool that your horses respond to you like that!
I agree, if I ever train horses, THIS is how I want to do it! Marina's doing an amazing job, I love the trust her horses give her.
The drastic shift in personality, emotional security, motivation, and attitude towards me that my horse went through when I stopped using regular natural horsemanship techniques that he'd seen his whole life, and changed to R+ was absolutely insane. He was a chronic biter, ear pinner, ran away in the pasture, hated saddles, and needed to be poked and prodded to do basic tricks, but when I stopped trying to make him do it, and changed to asking with a reward if he tried, he blossomed. He greeted me in the pasture, didnt mind tacking up, stopped biting and ear pinning, and was always looking to the next trick, even offering his own every once in a while. Because of the huge shift in his personality, I realized how it trule felt to have a horse like me and want to me with me, and be eager to please me without fear. He even changed how he saw other people, and became a great lesson horse for new kids, something I'd never thought he could do since he was so prone to biting at the least provocation.
What an amazing and inspiring story 🙌🏻 that is life changing for both of you! I love it! I believe this is possible for all horses if given the time and right environment for training ⚡️ way to go ♥️
I love how enthusiastic and excited they all are to train! So sweet! 🥰
You of all people have seen just how enthusiastic they are 🤣🤣🤣
Great work! I am 59 years old and only work with R+. The only thing I do different is that I use no clicker. I train tricks, jumping, liberty and Baroque Dressage. It is quite difficult to click in the middle of Passage or Capriole🤣. So I only use my voice: Bien (good) or Muy bien (very good). When I want to keep doing an exercise for longer time I use bien, bien, bien in the rhythm of the movement (like in Spanish Walk). Muy bien is for short stuff (like a butt swing) or for keeping certain positions (like sitting). Sending you love and light, greetings from Guatemala.💖
It means ... I'm glad I haven't seen those comments ... the nerve.
Keep Going Marina!
She finds it hard to do the buckle ...but that's because she doesn't have fingers 😂😂 you crack me up. Just look at how happy your horses are, that's all the proof I need that your methods work!❤❤
🤣🤣🤣 glad you thought that was funny!!!
And THANK YOU!! 😭
Positive reinforcement is always the best way to go for the horse and the trainer. I've used clicker training in the past, and it's not as well known, so I'm so glad that you're putting it out there! By the way, you seem like an incredible and devoted trainer!
Thank you!! Yes I agree it is the best!
Such a beautiful connection between you and your horses Marina! Can’t wait for the virtual show!!❤
Thank you!! YAS!! One week until zoom time ⚡️🥰
This is so AMAZING!!!! I wish we had this kind of training in my country,I will learn this one day!
the cool thing is you can!!
@@GypsyEquestrian One day I WILL learn 😆😆
There's a lot of free resources online! Just type in "positive reinforcement training horses" and you'll get A TON of information!
I’m so proud of you! You have come so far from your injuries and in your training! I just saw LEAPS of progress with your horses! You must be so proud! I’ve been and still will be praying for you 💛
Thank you 🙏🏻🙌🏻🥰 that is sweet to my ears!!
Ahh so excited to watch! 💕
Why did this video make me cry?? I think it's a combination of I can see how hard you have been working on R+ with your horses and how happy and responsive they are and also our own journey and positive results with R+. It's amazing! So many "horse people" are derogatory about R+ that it makes you start to question if this method could be right. But the results don't lie. I don't know why anyone would want to do it any other way when you could use R+ and get such willing horses. Can't wait to take a look at your course, congrats!
Awww thank you Erin!! ♥️ it can be a lonely road sometimes! I’m happy you’re in your groove with it as well. It’s been an amazing journey for me and mine 🙌🏻☀️feels like the clouds are parting ♥️
AHH Soo excited you just taught me what Postive reinforcement is!!! I can't wait to try it someday thank you!
I absolutely love watching you over the years! You have grown so much and I love how you treat your girls! They are absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to see where you will go!
Thank you!!! That means a lot 🙌🏻
AMAZING! Love it sooo much! You are so inspirational!💖
You can really tell they trust you so much! ❤❤
This is amazing!! Wow!
This is so great! You shouldn't get and flack for the great work you are doing.
I try doing lots of positive reinforcement any time I can. I also don’t force my horse I ask them and if they get confused I help them. I do a mix. I can do a lot of liberty stuff and my horses are very happy. I would love to do your group but I don’t think I can. It’s to expensive for me sadly because I am just young but also it’s very tricky with family stuff. I do lots of videos ex. ❤love you marina you help me a lot!!
We are becoming the norm in the horse community slowly but surely. 🎉
I hope so!
You are so smart and your horses adore you❤ well done incredible job!!!!!!!!!!
Awwwww thank you 🥺🥺🥺
I’ve been clicker training for almost 20 years. I love it. No need for mechanical clickers if you use a tongue click. Make sure it’s a different sound than a cluck that means something else to your horse.
I use voice cues as well but studies have shown that the mechanical clickers are more quickly translated to the horse than our voice cues. I still use both though ♥️🙌🏻
I prefer a clicker because I've found I can click faster then I can cluck or use a verbal cue.
@@imzadi83fanvids7 that’s interesting! Cool
Love this! Positive reinforcement should be more popular ❤
Dude this is always me and my horse. Love doing this training. Everyone always makes fun of my training. But their horses can’t do liberty so.
Majestic horses 🐴 ❤
Love your videos!!!
i’m so early! I love your videos, and it’s so impressive to see how you have taught them so much.
Thank you so much!
I love this you're doing amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ you're an amazing trainer ❤️
So cute!
I adore this kind of training! I have been working with a young horse (2) with R+ and it works great!
😊
I’m so glad to hear that!!
If I could love this video, I would. ❤ Awesome job Marina!
Thank you so much!!
Yes!!!! I am already sold. (Now I just need to get a horse.)😂
Cookie Pusher!😂

Your such an amazing trainer! It's crazy how well you're horses respond! Keep up the good work 💕
Thank you! ♥️ I love this method 🌪️
@@GypsyEquestrian❤
Wow! Those horses really like to train! 😋
Zara and Zinny are so smart and talented ❤❤ and Zureal is so sweet and cute ❤❤
Love the body target exercises! I will try that with my mustangs.
It’s sooooo useful!
The horse 🐴 looks like she has it made and likes joining in the activity, it's very pleasant and interesting.
I am to R+ trainer and I think that is the best way to train/teach your horse better things
Totally agree! You should join the R+ Virtual Show! It's a great way to show off what R+ horses can do! We've got buckles, ribbons, and a bit-less bridle as prizes for the June 15th one! positive.horse/virtual-show
I love you! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
i think what you do is amazing dont liston to the othr people
You are a good teacher.
Thank you 😭🥰
@@GypsyEquestrian Because you don't hit your horses like other ladies in TH-cam.
🤣Love this one! How do you establish food manners in a positive way?
You train it with R+ 😃
Your such amazing trainer .how responsive to. Love your information very helpful
I appreciate that!
My riding instructor got a mustang and he's super nice but very mouthy and I asked her why and she said it was most likely because he was trained with positive reinforcement. I've never actually been around mustangs before so I never really thought about how they might turn out after so that might be something you want to be aware of. It's super interesting to watch you train your horses and to see how far you've come. No hate just something I thought might be useful
All horses start out mouthy except the ones that are terrified of you (Those keep their distance). Food manners is a trained behavior. We can’t expect our horses to know how to be in “treat receiving mode”unless we have taught it. Just like any behavior ♥️🙌🏻 Zurreal and Zinfandel began as “food aggressive” but as you see in this video they have learned “treat receiving mode.” 🙌🏻
that is really cool how that works
🤓
And i thought my horse was well trained😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Aww I love this💕 Are u going to post a mustang update?
This was one in a way❤
@@Randomcrap-zx5ks true but i miss the vlogs lol ( I’m not trying to sound like I don’t like the other videos so sry)
@@Horsegirll123-l7v I miss them to xd
Would this approach work for re-training? What about horses that want to “mug” you for a treat, or food-obsessed horses?
Yes R+ is great for re-training! Most horses begin with "mugging" because they don't naturally understand food manners. Food manners and "treat receiving mode" is the first behavior you have to teach when starting with using R+. Once you've got that foundation down, you're good to go!
There's 3 firsts but ahhhhh I'm so early
Not saying I'm first❤❤
Loveeee ur channnnnellll
I've started to teach my horse to do a couple of things that will help with some under saddle issues + some tricks. problem now is that every time she sees me, she's searching me for "treats" or just being really nosy. I'm not sure what to do about that.... any tips?
It doesn't Usually bother me sometimes I need my space
It sounds like she doesn’t know food manners, I would spend time on teaching that behavior and then teach an “all done” cue. Both of those are game-changers to bring clarity to your training relationship
@GypsyEquestrian Thank you. I will try that. She is usually really good with food. Apart from getting excited.
I just don't want her accidentally biting someone I know she wouldn't mean to but, but I have lots of kids around.
I want to do this with my horse, but he gets bored supper easy, but he is also super treat motivated. I also don't have a round pen just and arena. How would you say to start at it? And would i steart in a halter? And is there to old of a age to start this?
You can start this at any age. You’ll start with a fence between you (in protected contact) to teach them food manners. But yes I teach them without any tack on and allow them to be completely free to leave. An arena works great!! I don’t have one otherwise that is where I would chose to do it!
@@GypsyEquestrian thank you! I will let you know how it goes! Also one more question, do I need to work with him everyday?
Hey! So, I've been trying to do positive reinforcement with my horse. But, if I run out of treats, she just ignores me. She's just there for the treats. Is there anything I can do to help with that?
Hey! Yes totally! In the beginning horses (or any animal) does it for the treats but as you continue in your R+ training journey together the horse begins to enjoy the learning process and the "game."
Have you studied "reinforcement schedules" yet? If not, look into that!
You can also begin to use different reinforcement schedules to fade out treats for easy behaviors and / or chain them.
@@GypsyEquestrian Thank you so much for responding! I haven't looked at reinforcement schedules yet, but I definitely will. Thank you!
I think it'll help!
How do you teach food manners
Hi i dont currently own a horse and i ride a already trained one but in about 5 years i plan on getting one. Do you think you will still be doing the whole training things where i can send you videos or whatever?
Not sure what I’ll be doing in 5 years but if I am, I would love to work with you ♥️
@@GypsyEquestrian ok! Thank you it means so much to me and my friends
Can you do a video of food behavior training
I have a 15 year old pony that was fed only treats and got his way every time with previous owners and is bad about that’s now
I teach that and all the foundational behaviors in my courses if you’re interested 🥰♥️
@@GypsyEquestrian thank you!!
I will check that out!!!
NEVER BEEN FIRST 😝😝😝
I wonder if this will work with my kids ?
I used a lot of R+ when I taught 3rd graders!
FIRST
gg
Why do u use the clicker thing and what is it for
I explain that in the first 20 seconds 🙌🏻♥️
No like can you please answer like why do you use to click on what is it used for
First
So eventually you’ll be able to not use the clicker right
Meant your horse sorry
