Horse Training
Horse owners should understand an important element about their horse that will make training them easier and more successful.
We are talking about your horse’s brain. Your horse’s brain has two halves that are not connected. You’ve probably heard trainers say, “be sure to do both sides of the horse”. What this means is whatever technique you do with your horse then you must do it on his other side once he gets it on one side. In other words, if you get him used to a plastic sack on his left side then you have to do it on his right side. Why? Because his left brain side does not communicate with his right side brain since they are not connected.
Think of this. Your equine has an eye on both sides of his skull. His right eye is looking at what’s going on to his right, to his front right, and behind him on the right. The left eye is doing the same but on his left side. His eye’s can see what’s happening independently of each other. This means that when your horse is looking at you with one eye, you only have half his brain – thus, you have only half of his attention. If you don’t have all his attention, then you don’t have the horse.
This means if you’re about to teach your horse something, you need his attention. Think of it like this. Have you ever talked with someone and when you do they look off somewhere and then look back to you? That’s rude. You don’t have their attention. Why, then, would you allow your horse to do the same thing? There’ll be times you can’t have both eyes because of the way you’re training your horse. However, when you can have his eyes on you, then make sure you do. It makes training a horse easier and more successful.

would you like it if i featured some Y!A questions on here?
I had saved your question because I did not have time to read it when I found it.
I looked at the web site and I think it looks great. Informative stories/articles that I found interesting and I will be going back to finish the losing a horse one as I did not have time to finish it with the respect it deserved.
I also loved that you picked up the mustang question posted here a short time ago. I saw it at the time and was horrified and hope it was an attention seeking brat with too much time on their hands. But it is certainly a good conversation starter.
So in answer to your question yes I would read it.
Good luck and keep it up
