Care to guess?<\/p>\n<p>More than 1100 of them couldn&#8217;t remember<br \/>\nanything the newscaster said for<br \/>\nthe first 30 seconds of the newscast.<\/p>\n<p>Rather typical for most guys (sadly).<\/p>\n<p>Give us something to distract us and<br \/>\nwe&#8217;re in la la land for a while.<\/p>\n<p>Thing is, horses are like that too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Horses Get Distracted:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They get distracted pretty easily.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s a problem when you&#8217;re<br \/>\nworking with a horse.<\/p>\n<p>You always want your horse payin&#8217;<br \/>\nattention to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Need Your Horse&#8217;s Attention:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, lots of people don&#8217;t<br \/>\nunderstand why this is so important.<\/p>\n<p>One of the big reasons, of course, is<br \/>\nnot being able to teach a horse something.<\/p>\n<p>If he&#8217;s lookin&#8217; elsewhere and not<br \/>\nfocused on you, then how are you to<br \/>\nteach him anything.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one of the reasons you ask a<br \/>\nhorse to move around.<\/p>\n<p>It gets their attention back to you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sort of the equivalent of someone<br \/>\nsaying your name and you looking to see who&#8217;s<br \/>\ncalling you.<\/p>\n<p>So as you&#8217;re doing ground work with<br \/>\nyour horse or just trying to teach some little<br \/>\nthing, he&#8217;s gotta be payin&#8217; attention.<\/p>\n<p>HOWEVER! Here&#8217;s something you may not have<br \/>\nthought of.<\/p>\n<p>When we filmed Paul Esh, Paul noted that<br \/>\none of the reasons a horse doens&#8217;t pay attention<br \/>\nto you is because&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re boring!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yep.<\/p>\n<p>Booooooring.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard several trainers say the same<br \/>\nthing in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>One trainer even said, &#8220;Horses are looking<br \/>\nfor entertainment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;re looking to<br \/>\nwatch Black Beauty on TV, they do need stimulus.<\/p>\n<p>So what does Paul recommend?<\/p>\n<p>This.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How To Overcome Boredom:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make your horse move&#8230;even just a step<br \/>\nmay do it.<\/p>\n<p>If your horse is lookin&#8217; around and you<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t seem to exist in his world for the<br \/>\nmoment, then just have him step back or<br \/>\nleft or right.<\/p>\n<p>Losing their attention is nothing to get<br \/>\nmad about either.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s natural and it&#8217;s just the way it is.<\/p>\n<p>So if your horse isn&#8217;t focused on you when<br \/>\nhe should be, then have him move.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re certain to get him focused on you then.<\/p>\n<p>As small as this sounds, it&#8217;s vital you<br \/>\nhave their attention.<\/p>\n<p>The more they&#8217;re used to giving you their<br \/>\nattention, the safer you&#8217;re gonna be in<br \/>\nthe long run.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, if you&#8217;re out riding a trail and<br \/>\nthey&#8217;re forgetting you&#8217;re on them, you could be<br \/>\nin BIG trouble if they spook.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there&#8217;ve been plenty of cases where<br \/>\na horse was being ridden, forgot his rider was up<br \/>\nthere on him, suddenly saw him again and bucked.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Is it worth it to get your horse&#8217;s attention<br \/>\non you and to get him habitually doing it?<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah!<\/p>\n<p>Paul Esh shows different ways to do that and<br \/>\nalso shows how to keep a horse out of your<br \/>\nspace&#8230;another important piece of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>To see more about Paul&#8217;s info,<br \/>\nclick the following:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Horse Training Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/paulesh-respect-space\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/paulesh-respect-space\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Just so you know, another important thing<br \/>\nabout having your horse&#8217;s attention is that it is<br \/>\nrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever talked with someone and they<br \/>\nwere lookin&#8217; around&#8230;seemingly ignoring you<br \/>\nor certainly not focusing on what you were saying?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have time for people like that.<\/p>\n<p>And I absolutely won&#8217;t let my horses do that!<\/p>\n<p>After all, if we&#8217;re out riding while he still<br \/>\nhas a mindset of disrespect, who do you think he&#8217;s<br \/>\ngonna take care of when he gets scared?<\/p>\n<p>IT WON&#8217;T BE ME!<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s worse, without his respect you can hardly<br \/>\nteach him anything cuz he&#8217;ll think he doesn&#8217;t have<br \/>\nto do it.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Horse Training Tips\" href=\"http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/paulesh-respect-space\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.horsetrainingresources.com\/dvds\/paulesh-respect-space\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I rest my case.
