Re: [RC] teach your horse to come when called - Karen Sullivan

My 4 year old is so food oriented it was easy to teach her to come to a
special
call, for a treat.  The day I came off her when she spun out from under me,
she came
when I called......pretty neat.

Just curious how many have taught your horses to come when called (like a
dog). I go out in to the pasture, and yell for the horses, and they come
running, into the barn, for the snack I have waiting on them. My next

step,

is to start carrying a whistle, and yell for them, but also use the

whistle.

That way, they will start to respond to the whistle, and not just MY

voice.

(I have a special yell, that is very high pitched, and I say "Here
Boys"...my hubby can not duplicate my yell)

Anyway, I have not worked on them coming to me in smaller enclosures, just
when it is treat time. The second reason I was going to start with the
whistle, was because I do carry one on me when I ride, so hopefully if the
horse and I parted ways, I could whistle if they started to take off, and
hopefully they would come back. If we can teach a dog to come when
called..........my Arabians should be a breeze <grin>

Anyone have their horse trained to do so every time you ask???
