When a horse gets distracted, Monique likes to use tasks that the horse already knows, but she emphasizes that the horse needs to have a solid understanding of them so that it's easy for the horse to do when he's distracted. When she asks the horse to move, the horse switched focus away from the distraction and on to her. Then every time the horse offers to be calm and relaxed, she leaves the horse alone so that the horse understands that standing still is peaceful and a reward.
