[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 36569, member: 9"] Treats can be ok if used sparingly and intermittantly (basic behavioral psychological principle). Don't want horses to be getting into your pockets. Physical affection works very well and doesn't cost anything. Also, if you use a treat to "bribe" a horse initially, gradually "fade" this activity to small treat AFTER the horse complies with request. Also, "pair" the treat with physical affection to fade out the expectancy for always a food treat. [/QUOTE]
