[QUOTE="DrumRunner728, post: 376316, member: 6339"] Given in a timely fashion and not overdone, treats are a good way to reward a horse for doing the right thing. My barrel horse refused to take the bit when I first bought him. It was a struggle every day to bridle him up. I tried giving him a small treat as soon as he would take the bit (yes, with the bit in his mouth - oh, horrors!) and it didn't take but a day or two before he was asking for the bit. Giving treats and spoiling a horse are two different things. You can give a horse too many treats and turn them into nippers, and you can certainly spoil a horse without ever forking over a treat. That being said, spoiling a horse with good and proper care is one thing. Allowing a horse to "run over you" and thus creating a spoiled horse is a . . . well, it's a horse of a different color. :lol: [/QUOTE]
