Book- You Can Train Your Horse To Do Anything

You Can Train Your Horse To Do Anything!  by Shawna & Vincent Karrasch

Everyone involved with horses wants them to consistently behave well, and perform to the best of their ability and knowledge.  But, as is all too well known, many horses do not cooperate, and this is because they are not motivated to do so.  The On Target Training program can change their attitude.  

Shawna and Vinton Karrasch are co-founders of this revolutionary method  that combines the basics of "clicker training" widely used on marine mammals- killer whales, dolphins, and sea lions- as well as dogs, with another reward-reinforcement program known as "target-training."  Shawna trained marine mammals Sea World San Diego in California, before joining up with Vinton who had years of experience riding grand-prix show jumpers.  Together they have developed this highly successful system of training horses.  

On Target Training helps horses to:

• Halter & bridle
• Lead quietly
• Tied and cross-tie
• Accept clipping and washing
• Load calmly into trainers and vans
• Accommodate farriers and vets
• Longe obediently
• Stand for mounting
• Pick up correct canter leads
• Back up
• Leg-yield
• Jump without rushing
