Listen in to a segment of the demonstration by Angelo Telatin and I on how the basics of learning theory can be applied to work through behavior problems.
We talk about how the principles of positive reinforcement, focusing on what you want, and how poor timing can actually cause many “bad” behaviors.
During the talk, you can also see how quickly horses learn, as our demo horse, Trix, learns to follow the target in only 5 min.
Learn how your horse thinks and how to communicate with them to create a happy and willing riding partner

If you have a young horse, or an older one that does not have trail experience you want to start them trail riding the right
Most riders, especially those who do any kind of arena work, are familiar with the concept that a horse should “move off your leg.” This
I signed up for the Balanced Riding course after watching Callie on YouTube. I’ve learned so much from this course. As you start riding when you’re young, you learn the fundamentals, but then you drift so far away from them in different skills that you’re learning that you sometimes kind of forget or don’t appropriately utilize those fundamentals anymore. And she’s really brought me back to that level of understanding specifically how to ride with the seat. And I think that’s kind of the most powerful thing you can learn to do as a rider, is to sit your horse appropriately, not have to rely so much on your reins. So that’s been huge, just completely changed the way I ride.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the comments and positive comments I have read while on this site. I have taken many of the free courses offered by CRK training over the past few months and it has help with my confidence. I actually rode my daughter’s horse for the first time outside in the ring since she came home from a free lease September. I have practiced many of the lessons and watched many videos. It was just at a walk but I felt confident with every thing I have learnt so far, plus I have learnt that I am not the only one who gets nervous and that it is okay to be nervous and thanks to Callie’s lessons I have learnt to take one day at a time and work though the times I feel nervous.
As a new horse owner and rider I wanted a training series that would walk me through each step of equitation for a beginner. That is exactly what I got with the CRK Balanced Rider Series. Callie King is a talented horse trainer and accomplished rider and it shows through each of her videos. She is clear and concise when discussing her insider knowledge of horse care, training, and riding.
As with all of the work Callie does, this program is informative, thoughtful, evidence based. The course provides good resources on horsemanship, managing fear, developing confidence. The videos of “how to” help your horse manage his fear were particularly good (in that) helping my horse manage moments of fear, helps me to manage mine.
This is why I so enjoy your videos and webinars. Your approach is so positively based and therefore so kind and gentle while still being very effective. You work with the horse and not against him.
THANK YOU!

Great video! I use food to correct as well. I hope you will be at the Horse Expo in Pomona in Feb?????
Hi Shelly,
Probably not… I think one expo per year is going to be enough!
Thanks for the video Callie so interesting. The thing most for me is learning The patients and understanding what i am asking first. great to see you and Angelo hope to make it there on sunday
Would love to see you Corinne!
the camera was at his back thru the WHOLE PROCESS !!!!!!!!!!!!! would love to have seen it
I know… we were very limited with where to set up for the filming
With you and the training standing directly in front of the camera most of the time, it was nearly impossible to see what was happening.
Can this reward for desired behavior be use to teach horse that clamps mouth shut when bittiing ? My rescue horse came with this problem
Teeth have been ckd
Thanks
Yes, you could hold a small treat with the bit as you ask the horse to open their mouth. You can also ask for opening the mouth without the bit and bridle and feed a treat as soon as they open.
Another great video, thank you. Question: how can you incorporate target training into ground and ridden work?
You can use it in two main ways… First, think of it as a fun game to do with your horse getting them thinking, engaging with you, and interested. You can also use it to trigger things such as head down, stepping forward, or backing up. As they move to follow the target you would “mark”, using a click or a specific word, that new movement. Also, you incorporate the new cue, such as your hand on the poll for head down or a squeeze of your leg for stepping forward.
Thank you x
That was explained so well, love your videos! One problem though, it was a bit hard to hear, especially when turned away from the camera. I know this was a live video, so were speaking to the crowd, but just something to keep in mind. We want to every word!
Thanks again for your terrific videos:)
