Pay Attention
Hey Dean, I am riding a 3 year old....doing really well in her training, and is very talented....but I am having a problem with her paying attention to me....and being attracted to other horses that are tied in the arena, and doors etc......makes it hard to get her consistent because her mind is everywhere! I have tried disiplining her but she is just getting mad and it is starting to effect her manuver....for example she is starting to really hesitate when moving her fron end around??? Do you have any ideas?

Re: Pay Attention
Travis, Could you give me a idea of how long you have been riding this horse and also this horses living conditions. Does it live outside with other horses or does it live in a box stall. Dean Brown |

Re: Pay Attention
Dean, She has about 6 Months on her. She is a colty type horse that has some trouble being serious about her job. She is in a stall at night and an individual turn out during the day! Thanks |

Re: Pay Attention
First if you are ridding this horse on a consitant basis I would not turn her out for awhile. Let you become her source of entertainment for awhile and see how that goes. When you disipline her do you give her a reward afterwards. The best thing maybe to do would be to let her take you towards the other horses or doors. Then disipline her and then keep up a mild disipline until you reach the opposite end of the arena that she was pulling you to. Then let her sit ther for a few minutes. Keep repeating this. So now she is finding the good place and the bad place to be. You would be suprised how many horses after a short period of time will start pulling you towards the reward zone. Then you just have to make sure that you keep her in check and once and awhile go back to it. they will remember right away. Dean Brown |
