I have started to utilize a new target for the horses that I am clicker training. Rather then the traditional buoy target I have started to use a 8 inch inflatable buoy that has a handle. It has become multi functional. For the stallion that I am training it allowed my hand to be protected while he figured out that he simply needed to touch the target and not bite it or me. For some of the mares the target (which is bright yellow but also comes in purple) has been great to use for basic targeting while I am holding it but also is a great remote target when I put it on the ground. With the handle, the buoy does not roll away when touched. And for a mare that was VERY hesitant to participate with the training, it has become one of the cues that a fun session is about to start. When she sees it she comes right over. If she gets spooked during the sesssion and is hesitant to return I can hold the target to my side and her ears go forward and the feet follow. I will try to post some pictures of the target in action later on this week.
