ILHA Advanced Liberty Obstacle Course w/descriptions

Since the clouds parted for a few hours on Sunday, I videoed an entry for the International Liberty Horse Association. Unfortunately, even though they’re websites says the entries are due Eastern standard time. They really meant Eastern daylight time so by the time I went to upload it I guess I was too late.
Anyway, it was a nice go so I thought I would post. They don’t allow food to even be on the course so you can’t reinforce at all can see a few times where was wondering why he wasn’t getting anything!

@@0712751 I try to think of it as rewarding for mental effort. When he’s learning something I reward a lot, but as it gets easier for him I fade the reinforcement - usually by putting the next cue where I normally reinforce - which seems to keep him in the game. It wouldn’t work to chain all these things together if he didn’t know them really well.
