No! Not only will this program help make giving your horse oral meds super easy, you’ll also learn how to get started with positive reinforcement training the RIGHT way, giving you a strong foundation you can use for other behaviors in the future.

That’s great! You’ll still be involved in the curriculum from the beginning, giving you a chance to refresh your foundation and make sure you and your horse are totally prepared before we start introducing the syringe.

At least a couple days per week. But the more you practice, the faster you will progress and see results. Training sessions will be short (about 10 minutes max) which makes it easy to fit in a couple of sessions on the days you train.

Every horse progresses at a different pace, so no worries if you fall behind! You’ll still be included in all of the live trainings and receive each week’s training tasks; you’ll simply keep working at the step you and your horse are currently on. You’ll also have an extra two months of access to the curriculum after our 12 weeks together, giving you more time to catch up and finish the behavior.

All meetings will be recorded and shared to be watched/rewatched if you can’t make it.

Each week, you’ll send in a video of a training session working on your current training task. I’ll watch your session and send back a personalized voiceover review, walking you through my feedback, what I’m noticing, and suggestions for troubleshooting or moving forward.

This program isn’t only for horses who hate the syringe! If your horse already tolerates oral meds pretty well, we can take that skill even further by teaching them to actually ENJOY participating and giving them the opportunity to actively say “yes!” to the process.

A private Facebook group is the hub for sharing your training videos, accessing recordings, asking questions, sharing successes, and connecting with fellow members.

Your welcome email will walk you through everything you’ll need and what will be helpful to have. For the basics, you’ll need a food pouch, food rewards (just hay pellets), a clicker, access to protected contact such as a fence or gate that allows a barrier between you and your horse, and a phone to film your training sessions. An inexpensive tripod or something secure to prop your phone on will be helpful for filming. Bluetooth headphones can be helpful during our live lessons but not required.
