Over the years, I have tried many different styles and types of treat pouches, and have had a really difficult time finding any that met the functionality that I look for in my work.  This is important to me as I start to incorporate clicker training / positive reinforcement into my training when I start to advance past the basic level, and am getting into more refinement and precision.  This allows me to add another level of accuracy, reinforcement, and motivation for my horses.

​

I often have multiple tools in my hands, so I wanted something that wouldn't take a lot of effort or time to open and get treats out of.  Many pouches I tried either had a difficult, cumbersome closure to use, or didn't have any type of secure closure, which would cause me to lose treats, as I am typically quite active during training sessions.

So I designed these pouches with a strong magnet that is built into the pouch.  This keeps it very secure, yet still allows me to easily pull it open with one hand, get a treat, and let it drop and click back into position all on its own, which I find to be far more efficient than anything else I've tried.

I have found that it is also important to have a pouch that is stable on my side, when I am active on the ground or riding, as this helps to keep my body language and position more balanced while I'm working.  To achieve this, these treat pouches are made with two belt loops that keep the pouch stable from side to side as  I am moving.  The loops are designed and positioned in a way that allows the pouch to hang slightly below the waist, which makes it a little more comfortable and out of the way.

These pouches are made from a rustic and distressed oil tanned leather, which makes them durable, with an incredibly soft feel, while being resistant to water and other elements. Each pouch is handmade and comes with its own set of natural markings within the leather. These natural markings enhance the unique character and rustic look of each pouch. 

They come in two sizes and colors (saddle tan and dark brown).  The small size is a little lighter and typically lasts through one training session for me, but if you are feeding a lot or want it to last through multiple sessions, the large works great for that.  Both sizes are available in both colors.

Small pouches are 4.75 inches wide x 1.75 inches deep x 6.25 inches tall

Large pouches are 4.75 inches wide x 1.75 inches deep x 7.5 inches tall

I am really excited to be able to offer what I believe to be an excellent tool for those of you who want to incorporate clicker training and positive reinforcement into your work with your horses.  They have certainly been a game changer for me!
