The method

How to Train With Treats Without Creating a Nipper

1Teach manners first. Reward only when the head is away from your pocket and the horse is standing still.

2Pick one marker: a clicker or the word “good”. Say it once at the exact moment, then reward.

3Pre-count the pieces for the session. When they are gone, the session is over.

4Keep it short. Five good minutes beats twenty frustrating ones. Stop on a success.

What trainers use them for

Where Training Treats Help Most

Clicker and target training

Fast, consistent rewards for shaping behavior one step at a time.

Trailer loading

Reward each calm step toward and onto the ramp. Small pieces let you reward often.

Standing for the farrier or vet

Build duration: a treat for two seconds still, then five, then twenty.

Catching a hard-to-catch horse

Make being caught the best part of the day. One treat, every time, no exceptions.

Desensitizing

Pair the scary thing with a calm reward at a distance the horse can handle.

Lesson programs and camps

A pouch per horse keeps portions honest across several handlers. Ask about wholesale.

Questions

Horse Training Treat FAQs

How many treats should I use in a training session?

Pre-count 10 to 15 small pieces for a five-minute session. Break treats in half for ponies or long sessions. See how many treats a horse can have.

Will treats make my horse pushy?

Only if you reward pushing. Teach manners first and reward only calm, polite behavior. The pushiness stops when it stops working.

Which flavor is best for training?

Peppermint and Carrot for motivation, Carrot and Flaxseed for horses that get too keen, Apple and Carrot for everything in between.

Can I use these for a horse with a metabolic condition?

Rein Treats contain molasses and oats. Check with your veterinarian first; a portion of the horse's normal approved feed is often the safest training reward. See our feeding guide.

How should I carry them?

The 6oz pouch reseals and fits a treat bag or jacket pocket. Keep it closed between rewards so the horse does not fixate on it. See how to store horse treats.
