I met him and watched his demos\/exhibitions at the horse world expo in March of this year. He&#8217;s a trick horse trainer that trains horses for movies, events, and pretty much anything you can think of. This was the first time I saw him and I thought what he did was pretty exciting. I still prefer to include clicker training into my training (Tommie does not use clicker training that I have seen but I have seen him reward with treats), but I have incorporated some of Tommie&#8217;s methods into my training. (see the video below of me using Tommie Turvey&#8217;s method of laying down Blitz).<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9xN5XSR1_9E?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/ri_promo_updown\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/ri_promo_updown.jpg?fit=2102%2C1511&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2102,1511\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Steve Priest - photographer&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;World Renowned Equine Extremist, Tommie Turvey Jr. as \\&quot;the Riding Instructor\\&quot; with his trick horse, Pokerjoe.
