Training Buzz: Riding a Distracted Horse with Monique Potts

Welcome to the Training Buzz sponsored by Purina. Hear a bit from dressage and horsemanship trainer Monique Potts as she works with a rider on a horse that gets easily distracted by new objects. She has the rider pay attention to the horse’s ears. When they fixate on something, then the rider needs to do an exercise like a small circle or transition to get the ears to switch back to the rider.
