Do we always need to touch them and rub their face and try and hug them?
Can we let them tell us how they want to be touched or IF they want to be touched?

I got a fly mask on a semi feral pony that desperately needed relief from the flies. 
All he knows is a nose target and bridge and I shaped him to wear it in one session! ๐
Heโs very happy and cute now ๐งก
His bigger friend will take a bit longer, but I touched him for the first time today ๐ฅฐ
I love her deep but groggy neigh to the other horses at the hospital ๐งก

Iโm ensuring my horses arenโt positively reinforced for unwanted behaviours like escaping! 
Note the open gate!
