Well, sometimes I bite off more than I can chew; or at least
I have ideas grander than the time I have available to
implement them!
I belong to both the 'click-ryder' and
'the_click_that_teaches'
email training lists.
There have been such wonderful posts about equine clicker
training to these lists, that I thought instead of writing
my own articles for this section, I would include some posts
in their entirety, and some I would take the relevant or
meaningful to me pieces and put them together and hence come
up with some articles that way.
In some instances as I have used only part of the
authors writings I may have taken their meaning slightly out
of context, but if this has happened it should only be to
portray their meaning in a way more accessible to me, and
not to change the essence of the original writings.
Hmmm, well…….since deciding on this format I've been
spending a lot of time reading but
not actually progressing very far with putting things
together!!
This means this section of the site will definitely be a
work in progress, so please come back and check for more
articles every now and then.
Or if you can't wait for me, please follow the links above
and become a member yourself of these wonderful
lists. The super thing about clicker trainers is that they
are all positive trainers and that carries over into life as
well, so a nicer bunch of people you won't meet anywhere
else.
What I've done is tried to group together a
collection or thread of similar thoughts – what you may
notice is a lot of these excerpts could easily belong in
more than just the one section I have placed them in, which
brings us nicely to our first and most recurrent 'little
pearl of wisdom'
"Everything is
everything else"
While a great majority of quotes you will
find have a dressage emphasis or focus, as that is where my
interest lays, as dressage roughly translates as the
systematic training of the horse you should find that a lot
of quotes will be applicable to all facets of horsemanship,
especially as all quotes will espouse the principles of good
training.
In the interests of brevity these excerpts
are all taken from copyright sources and are taken from
either the
clickryder email discussion group list, or
the_click_that_teaches email discussion group list, and
individual excerpts are acknowledged thusly SF/CR, or AK/TCTT
for example. All articles are owned exclusively by the
authors and permission to reprint should be requested
directly from the authors as noted below.
