Overcoming Resistance: Get A Horse to Pick Up its Feet with Ease

Do you have a horse that plants his feet when you try to pick them up?
Does your farrier have a hard time, and ends up spending half the time trying to get your horse to pick up his feet with ease and keep them up while he/she's working on them?
Or, does your horse stomp his foot down or pull his leg out from your grasp once you do get them up?

This video will guide you with an approach that will give you a horse that picks up his feet with ease!
Your farrier or trimmer will thank you!
My Clear Mental Picture during this session is to get this horse comfortable allowing the handler to pick up his feet easily and safely for hoof care, trimming or shoeing without a fight.

This video goes deeper into:
* How to use movement to establish standing still
* How to make it the horse's idea to lift his feet without leaning into you
* How to stabilize the horse to stand on 3 feet when one is picked up
