This May Help&#8230;.<\/h3>\n<p>Trainer Andy Curry interviewed and filmed professional trainer Jim Rea and talks about it all here&#8230;  see what he has to say:<\/p>\n<p>Ever been frustrated and asked yourself, &#8216;Why does that dang horse do that!?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Or have you ever wondered why your horse should pay attention to you with &#8216;both&#8217; eyes?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll give you a hint.  It&#8217;s because of the way his brain is wired.<\/p>\n<p>You see, when you train your horse, you want his attention.  If he&#8217;s lookin&#8217; around and twiddlin&#8217; his thumbs (figuratively speaking), you can&#8217;t teach him anything.<\/p>\n<p>Think about this.<\/p>\n<p>A prey animal (ie. a horse) has their eyes on the sides of their head.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because a prey animal is prey&#8217;d upon and they need a good warning system so they know when to escape.<\/p>\n<p>Having an eye on each side of their head allows them to see a very wide open area including much of what&#8217;s behind them&#8230;all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Us predators mostly see what&#8217;s in front of us.  Then we have peripheral vision to see to the sides some &#8211; but not like horses can see on the sides.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, while the horse stands there he can see through each eye independently.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever is going on to his left he can see with his left eye.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s the kicker.<\/p>\n<p>While his left eye is watching all this stuff happening on the left, his right eye is watching what&#8217;s going on to the right.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I find that remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s fair to say that one eye feeds half the brain.  The other eye feeds the other half.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, when working with your horse and you only get one eye&#8230;you only have half his brain.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why you want to engage his attention so you can affect his entire brain.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t always get both his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>There are times he can only give you one eye-like when he&#8217;s running in the round pen for instance.<\/p>\n<p>But!&#8230;you can command his attention.<\/p>\n<p>Now let&#8217;s go back to my original question.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Training troubles?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>If you have them, you might consider learning more about your horse and his nature such as what I just described about his eyes and how they work with his brain.<\/p>\n<p>If you have some kind of training trouble, it could well be you&#8217;re having trouble because there&#8217;s something about your horse you don&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n<p>It is that very reason we had Jim Rea as our featured trainer.<\/p>\n<p>In it, he reveals his famous &#8216;Nature of The Beast&#8217; oration.<\/p>\n<p>And if you think you might need to bone up on understanding how your horse thinks, why he does what he does, and so on&#8230;I urge you to get Jim&#8217;s Video.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s located at:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-rea.html<\/p>\n<p>He also shows a powerful 7-Step Safety Check system you should do with your horse every time you ride.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe around your horses,<\/p>\n<p>Charlie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Training Troubles?
