How to Use Treats to Train an Anti-Social Horse (Without Creating a Monster)

Great question! Treats can be a fantastic tool to build trust with an anti-social horse.
Here's the key: Reward respectful greetings, not pushiness!
✅ Polite horse, soft eyes? Treat time!
❌ Flat ears, rushing you? Hold off. Patience is key!
Don't let treats become a crutch. We want a happy, well-mannered horse, not a treat monster #horsetraining #positivehorseriding #buildingtrust #treatswithacatch

i use treats for my rescue OTTB it helps him realize he wont be punished if he doesn't understand (fyi, no mean bone in his body and ears always forward and polite when he gets his treat).
