Maddy i work with a trainer right next door we could hear the zebras. Her name is Michelle and she’s asking me to watch your videos to learn and so far there amazing! Btw mystic is so beautiful
I have a gelding that has been a big challenge. I've invested a huge amount of time and yet he always seemed to backslide, and it presented as attitude, dominance or fear. I praise a HUGE amount verbal and by touch. But I also use verbal and body for negative if he gave me negative behavior. I was at a loss because he gave me so much unwanted bahavior my corrections were 3/4 negative and 1/4 positive. Yet I knew he knew the work. So after using your clicker trainer, I was able to offer a more clear cut, positive reinforcement as in "YES" that the right answer" to anything... he has helped us LEAPS and bounds. So we are now more then 85% -90% positive reenforcement and he's making very little unwanted behavior. His confidence has soared. He enjoyes our rides more now that he knows he's getting it right. I realized he felt like he couldn't get anything right. Of course he wouldn't enjoy our work, who would if you felt like you couldn't get anything right. THanks a ton for your view and interpretations. He has challenged me in ways I never thought to thin outside the box as the typical approach was either temporary results or not effective.
6 months ago I bought a mare for show jumping. She quickly got injured. It turned out that she hadnt have the best live possible. Right now she’s recovered but mentally broken ;( she is scared of a rider and two people who have already worked with tough horse told me that she probably won’t work it out. Thank you Maddy for giving me hope ;) I will start working with her as soon as possible ! Maybe I can help her gain her confidence back and trust in human too
This is all such great stuff. You are so innovative; I love where you're going with your training methods. Looking forward to seeing more of Finn and our wonderful mustang mares!
hi maddy, been loving the youtube video's. the connection and understanding i am gaining is amazing. my Questions is HOW and WHEN do you faze out treats? as you use them alot ( i get why ) but how do you progress from that without loosing horses interest? thanks so much wowow eeeeee this is magic im really enjoying our sessions now :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. You might enjoy the book presence by Amy Cuddy . There is a section regarding how horses became more confident based on how they were encouraged to be in their posture. Loved watching how she found connection in her body when she found that place of lift. With Gratitude, Lauren
Hi Maddy! I just watched this whole series and I loved it! I just bought a new horse and definitely will be incorporating a lot of things I have learned from you. I hope to see more videos like this in the future, and maybe another update video for her?
Hi Maddy, I loved all the videos in your Mystic Experiment series! Everything made so much sense and I love seeing Mystic come along and expressing herself through your training methods. I'm wondering where we can find a target stick similar to yours? I am only finding ones for dogs and cats online (which might also work). Thank you!
I'm so disappointed. I live in Arizona and I missed meeting you and Mystic. I recently discovered you while watching another video. You were on a Mustang in Vegas. Would that Mustang by chance be Terk? Anyway, since stumbling upon your Vegas trip I've been binge watching all your videos. I'm hooked. I'm trying to take in and learn everything I can from you because when we get back to Washington and settled I'm wanting to get a Mustang.
There is a book behind our left. It has a man leaning his head toward a horses with a circle being painted on the horse’s eye. Could you tell me the tittle please me? I used to have that book when I was young and lost it and can’t quite remember the title
Sorry for jumping in here. It must be scary and frustrating to be on that cliff! No worries! Horses are very visually acute. With my deaf dog, I give him a thumbs up for "Good!" IF he's looking at me. Sometimes I use an electric collar, either one that is vibrate only, or one where the stimulation can be dialed way down (you can test it on your hand), or put tape over the electrodes. That way the vibration can be used as a "Look at me!" signal. The hardest thing about my deaf dogs is getting their attention when they aren't looking at me. I'll be very interested to see what Maddy has to say about this. I wonder if anyone has worked with deaf dolphins?!!!

Mellie I am SO happy to hear that these videos have made a difference for you and your horse

Thanks so much Barbara! Glad you're loving it
My favorite youtube show ever!! I can't wait for Season 2!

I'm getting a horse in the near future, and I find your channel really helpful
Best video yet. I am so enthused to try some of these ideas. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

I've been wondering how you would use R+ in the saddle. So cool to see how this works! I can't wait to someday put all of this knowledge to use.
Yes! It's a bit different but totally doable. I am excited to share! Glad this info is resonating
Oohhhh, I love this SO MUCH. Thanks a million for these great ideas.
Thank YOU Verena! So glad you loved it
Mystic seems like a different horse! Really looking forward to more episodes!! You have such a wonderful method!
Yes! She really is. Thank you so much
I also use pointing at the chest as a backup cue.

Can you show your stable with all horses too 🥰
Great I go thank you. Do you think the seeking system can be turned on for a deaf horse with light instead of clicking?
Your editing is awesome!
are you ever going to do an update on mystic?
There is a book behind our left. It has a man leaning his head toward a horses with a circle being painted on the horse’s eye. Could you tell me the tittle please me? I used to have that book when I was young and lost it and can’t quite remember the title
Love this thank you! When would you decide a horse was ready to teach the rear to?
So glad you loved it! Thank you for watching. It totally depends on the horse!
@@MustangMaddy Ok, thanks!
Where do you get your jeans? Love the bell bottoms.
Thank you! I'm not sure lol!
Good looking mare although I prefer Arabians to paints.
OMG so dealing with the halter thing. Koko will wear Sparkle's halter but none of the other three halters! Making me nuts.
I know the feeling!! Trauma is so tricky
Do you sell your treat pouches? They are beautiful!
Quick question. What is the treat you are using for a reward? My horses tend to be on the chubby side and don’t want to add to that.
I use alfalfa pellets typically! You can also use grass hay pellets :) Great question!

Maddy, my new foal is deaf. I can't think of a way to work around that for R+ ?

IF he's looking at me.

I'll be very interested to see what Maddy has to say about this. I wonder if anyone has worked with deaf dolphins?!!!
Yes! Your bridge signal can be visual or tactile :)
@@kerryobrien6299 Yes! You throw an ice cube into water for a deaf dolphin. They are so sensitive
I had a GREAT time visiting with Maddy and Mystic and all the rest... here's more fun we had... vimeo.com/366387556/ab66284619
LIke your work but you could edit a but more. A bit too much stream of consciousness.
I don't know. Kinda boring.
