The \"Why would you leave me?\" Game\" is one of the key lessons featured in \"The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker.\" Essentially this lesson teaches your horse loose leash leading. It begins by teaching your horse to walk with you on a slack lead - no pulling, forging ahead, or lagging behind. It is part of the pre-riding safety check list every horse should be able to pass before you consider getting on.

Perfected the lesson takes you straight to lateral work and beautiful liberty training.
When I was first learning about lateral work many decades ago now, the teaching was not exactly fun for the horses (or the handlers). But I was willing to ask my horse to go through those tough lessons because I was convinced that lateral work was good for him. It would help him to move better and to remain sounder longer.

Now all these years later I am all the more convinced of the value of lateral work. I know it contributes to long term soundness. But with clicker training the teaching process has become much easier - and a lot more fun for everyone. Once you know what to look for, lateral flexions pop out of many of the lessons you've been learning in this lesson series. It's like the expression: all roads lead to Rome. Well in this case all lessons lead to lateral work!

In Lesson 2: Ground Manners lateral work was introduced via the duct tape lesson. Now in this DVD I show you how they can be the natural by-product of this simple loose-lead leading exercise.

This DVD was first produced in 2006

Alexandra Kurland has been working since the early 1990s to bring clicker training into the horse world.

Her area of particular interest is the development of a horse's balance: physical and emotional. Helping horses stay sound throughout a long lifetime is the goal. The result are beautiful horses that feel like heaven to ride. Her work can be applied to any breed, discipline, and age.

In 1998 Alexandra launched the rapidly growing field of clicker training for horses with the publication of her first book, “Clicker Training for Your Horse”.
She has also written “The Click That Teaches: A Step–By–Step Guide in Pictures” and “The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker”. She has also produced The Click That Teaches DVD lesson series, plus an on-line training course, and an extensive library of articles in her blog: theclickercenterblog.com. She also produces the weekly Equiosity podcast - an exploration of all things equine with a special emphasis on the horse-human bond.

Alexandra teaches clicker training geared to any horse need or sport—including developing a gentle and companionable riding horse, working with foals and weanlings, training advanced performance horses, and helping difficult to handle horses.

Prior to the pandemic, Alexandra traveled widely giving clicker training clinics and presenting at conferences in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. She has been on the faculty of The Clicker Expo since it’s beginning almost twenty years ago.
Her clinic teaching has now shifted on-line so wherever you are in the world, you and your horse can learn directly from Alexandra.
