[Ag-eq] Resending

[aleeha dudley]

Hi,
The clicker is not to train the horse. However, it is a very 
useful tool to use so that a rider can go in a straight line. You 
can get them at your local pet shop (I don't remember how much 
they are, but they are not very expensire). They are the same 
clickers used on dogs.
Feel free?to e-mail me with other questions.
Thanks,
Aleeha blindcowgirl1993 at gmail.com
