$\"\"$ <\/a>So I thought if I wrote down some of my goals for the Trick Ponies in 2010 it might actually help me to accomplish them. Hopefully our cold winter doesn’t last too long and I can get to training them soon! So here’s my list (in no particular order):<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>1. Teach Minnow to rear<\/p>\n

2. Teach Blitz and Boomer to lay down on command<\/p>\n

3. Finish teaching Ammo and Boomer to paint<\/p>\n

4. Come up with a new skit for Minnow to perform<\/p>\n

5. Make a new video of all of the trick ponies (and the Dachshund) performing<\/p>\n

6. Move Boomer up to compete in the Masters Division in Mounted Games<\/p>\n

7. Take Blitz to a bombproofing clinic\/and or some Dressage events<\/p>\n

8. Teach Ammo and Minnow some tricks together<\/p>\n

9. Find more venues\/performances for Minnow to do – events that raise money for charities would be great.<\/p>\n

10. Spend more time doing “nothing” with the boys<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>

Blitz is the first of the Chincoteagues to learn to lay down<\/p><\/div>\n

So what do you think? Anything I should add? Suggestions on new tricks to teach the boys? I’d love to hear your goals – maybe you want to learn more about clicker training – maybe you just want to teach your horse one trick? Whatever it is, I wish you much success in the new year! Click on!<\/p>\n
