Trick Pony Goals

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):

1. Teach Minnow to rear

2. Teach Blitz and Boomer to lay down on command

3. Finish teaching Ammo and Boomer to paint

4. Come up with a new skit for Minnow to perform

5. Make a new video of all of the trick ponies (and the Dachshund) performing

6. Move Boomer up to compete in the Masters Division in Mounted Games

7. Take Blitz to a bombproofing clinic/and or some Dressage events

8. Teach Ammo and Minnow some tricks together

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

10. Spend more time doing “nothing” with the boys

Blitz is the first of the Chincoteagues to learn to lay down

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!
