What is the length of the attention span of a horse?

Many people blame their progress on the horse by saying "I can't teach my horse anything because he will not pay attention to me". The bottom like is that the attention span is directly attributed to the length of the riders attention span. In other words, the horse is a reflection of you. If you are not concentrating on the lesson plan, neither is your horse.

The attention span of the horse is directly related to performance. In other words, improve your training performance by focusing and getting better at teaching. Once you get better then the horse's performance will get better. Only after both you and the horse's performance improves will the horse's attention span increases.
