In Training

GIF - Took some pictures of Spike working with a young Throughbred called Moonlight. He is clicker training her and has just started teaching her to rear. I thought it was nice to see all the different stages.

What a privilege to watch these two together, they have such a fabulous bond and understanding of one another.
Well done

Wow... that looks like a little scary!!

Wonderful capture.

Fabulous. I watched this over and over. Love the interaction between man and horse.

Great job with the gif. Beautiful horse.

Fabulous! I love seeing incredible bonds between humans and animals.

I didn't realise clicker training was used with horses. I used it with my Collie and it was like having a direct line of communication open between the two of us. Excuse my ignorance but isn't a gif file a movie? How can I access this please?

This is wonderful. I have never seen gif uses like this before. What a great idea to show all the different actions from start to finish. Fave.

This is so interesting to see.

So cool! I don't know how to do a GIF but it seems this would be worth learning using some of the Iceland shots -- from today I have a ridiculous number of waves breaking against the shore. What do you use to create yours?

I've seen clicker training used on TV for training dogs, but didn't know it was used for horses too. He's doing a great job with Moonlight.

@fbailey if the animation is not showing try viewing the picture on black (click on the picture), I know that sometimes when I check my 365 feed on my phone the animation only shows when viewed on black. When on my laptop as long as I am looking at the picture and not just viewing it on my dashboard then the animation shows.

@golftragic I had a cat years ago that reacted to the clicker. I was able to teach him a few tricks. I think clicker training is a fantastic (and very satisfying) method to use as it's totally reward based. You do need patience though and sometimes have to let the animal figure out what it is that you are asking for.

@taffy Taffy, I will post a link to a very simple tutorial later when I am at my laptop. When I took the pictures I wasn't thinking about a gif at all. I was shooting handheld but had multiple shots activated. I have found it to be useful when trying to capture anything in motion. It was only when I viewed the sequence on the computer that I thought to create a gif.

@salza Very interesting Sally, I shall keep that trick in mind if and when need to train another dog. Thanks.
March 26th, 2017  
Oh wow this is cool!
March 26th, 2017  
@salza Thanks so much! I'm excited to try this...no rush as I won't til I get back. The time has flown by...we leave for home tomorrow and have fingers crossed for northern lights again tonight -- it's our last chance since the 'practice session.'

Very neat! Nice application of the GIF.
March 27th, 2017  
Just brilliant! As a technophobe, I find this breathtaking.

@taffy sorry I didn't post the link earlier but here it is - https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-create-animated-gif-quick-tip-ht#sm.0006g2t631c7rdzb11qh5b63qo5gl
I did resize all my pictures to a resolution of 100 before putting them into the stack. I also haven't done any other processing to the pics, I used the jpegs as shot. Once everything was done i did crop slightly. I hope you find this helpful.
