So I think the two things are connected....bonding with my new horse and getting her attention/focus on me. She is 5 yrs. old and very, very green. She was recently just broke and I just got her last month. When I am grooming her, leading her, when she's in the cross ties and exspeccially when I'm riding her she is just not paying attention she is just like "ohhhh look at that or ohhh a butterfly!!! Or hiiii little kid." or she'll just zone out and not even focus or pay attention. How can I get her to focus and pay attention? Like sometimes I bring her in the arena and let her loose and I play with her and I'll be sitting there and I'll be talking to her and she'll just start knocking over the other chairs or trying to drink coffee out of someone's leftover coffee. Is it just something she'll eventually grow out of or is there something I can do to get her attention?
