[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 381640, member: 4936"] We pasture when they're not being used everyday in a large pasture with a creek and lots of willows - I have always given treats when they come to the whistle - just lazy - hate walking through there looking for them all - I can just stand up top and whistle and count them as they straggle out and head up to the gate for their snack - I just use alfalfa pellets - I don't know why they think it's special - but they do! When they're working I don't treat - and I try not to feed them right after I put them away after working - I want them to get a drink, have a roll in the grass and relax for a few minutes first - so they don't get used to racing back to the barn to eat. But I have had a horse or two get away from me in the mountains or come untied from a picket overnight and such and I can usually (note, I say usually) just whistle and they come runnin' for the snack!
