This pretty little chap is Hughie, a Welsh Mountain pony. Although happy once he is caught, Hughie can be iffy about actually being caught and Anne, his owner, spent four frustrating hours trying to bring him in last weekend. Today I used clicker training to establish a link between his headcollar, a click and a treat. He was soon asking us to put his headcollar on in the stable and we then ventured out to a small paddock where he allowed us to do the same. Hopefully, this small change in technique will change his mind about being caught.
