[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 36552"] I was watching my wife work a couple of her horses last night, she always has a pocket full of treats. I noticed that both horses would follow her around with their "nose "on her pocket, being lead or not. One of her horses would not do the desired task until he got a treat, as simple a picking up a foot to be picked. My wife and I have the same basic thoughts on training but my treats during training are rubs and sratching... a tender hand, not food. I do give food treats during down time and bonding times... in the stall or turn out, but not asking for anything. I should say my wife and my styles are different enough that we agreed not to handle each others horses and after seeing her horses in her pocket all the time last night, I asked her not to give my horses treats unless they are in the stall. Has anyone had problem with horse on top of you or in you pocket because of treats? Thanks Alan [/QUOTE]
