About 9 years ago, I moved into another house. My son and I went to get it ready for the move in. At the time, he was around 3 years old.

While I was cleaning parts of the house he was running about.

We were just about ready to leave when I noticed the carpet didn't look right in my bedroom.

I checked it out and found paint had been spilled on it. It was wet and fresh.

Upset, I called him in the bedroom and angrily asked, "DID YOU DO THAT?!!!"

After hearing my tone, he knew he was in trouble. He was nervous. (Hmmm, just like a horse)

Then I said, "I'M MAD AT YOU FOR DOING THAT!!"

Within seconds he started crying. It broke my heart that I had broke his.

Immediately and with extrememe compassion and heartfelt words I said, "I'm not mad at you anymore."

The crying ceased in a few seconds except for the occassional gasps of air he needed to settle himself.

The lesson was, he needed to know he made a mistake but more importantly he needed to know I still loved and approved of him. Had I not countered the negative reinforcement, I think it would've been injurious down the road.

And that's how I see it with horses. You should make sure they're loved and approved of even if they "spilled the paint." For if they continue to feel a little afraid and uneasiness, it'll be harder to train 'em.

But one has to be careful in timing the kindness because you could reinforce the wrong behavior.

For instance, if you go to catch your horse and he runs from you but finally lets you catch him...and then when you catch him, pet him, then say "Good boy" you teach him to run from you.

Why? Because he learns he'll get petted and told he's a good boy "after" he runs from you and later gets caught.
