MTA, The reason why the reward based training works so well with this is that it needs to become an automatic response,you train it until it is and then do it once or twice ( from halt) each time you ride,that way the horse doesnt think about whether or not he would like to stop,he just does. Definitely. I have clicker trained 'stand' as a voice command so thoroughly that it works even when he's agitated and not seeming to be listening. It's like some part of his brain hears 'stand' and reacts automatically before he's realised what he's doing. Very useful!
