May Get-together of Friends of Easy Street Rescue
Dolores Arste, horse trainer and author, specializes in clicker training to develop the best possible relationship between horses and humans. Dolores gave us a wonderful presentation on Equine Clicker Training. She showed a video of the little mini she trained to be a Seeing Eye horse, which was heart warming. Imagine having your horse walk onto an open elevator, stand perfectly still as the elevator raises up, walk into a dark vehicle, turn around and then do the same on the ride down (and never move!). She showed us how she taught the little horse to do this, step-by-step with clicker training.
Dolores kindly donated a set of her videos (3 of them) on clicker training that will be raffled off at Easy Street's Open House on Saturday, June 5. She also has graciously donated "a personal clicker training session for each person adopting a horse from Easy Street Rescue". This is ongoing with no time limit! So every horse now being adopted will receive a certificate good for one clicker training session. Dolores lives in Saratoga County part of the year and Arkansas the other. For more info look for her on Facebook.

March Get-together of Friends of Easy Street Rescue
Our monthly meetings have moved to a new location because Rhonda and Roxy have changed locations for their cafe, which will now be at the old Partner's Cafe, next to Flannel Horse in the Town of Florida NY.
Meetings will now be almost across the street, but on Rt 30, from Easy Street Rescue! The Flannel Horse has been a sponsor of Easy Street Rescue from the very beginning, and we are fortunate that Patty, the owner, was our speaker for March. The Flannel H...orse carries everything equine, and will be open from 5:30p to 6pm on the nights of our meetups! Patty gave us a wonderful education on everything BITS |
