There R many failings in presenting this as a training video. For a start a horse is born knowing how 2 lift his legs, it´s about getting them comfortable doing it when you want them 2 do it. You virtually jumped from the fronts 2 the back with no contact along the body as you went. You wouldn´t do this on a truly green horse. Not enough text space 2 explain everything that should have been addressed. Better advertised as ´Novice rider – how 2 lift the legs of your fully trained horse¨

my horse doesn’t keep her feet up and its a giant pain to pick her front feet out. her back feet? come up and stay up like no problem whatso ever. i’ve even had a proff. help me but they said she just doesn’t like it but really didn’t give me any tips on how to make her give her feet. Any tips? you have no idea how much i would love to have her just give me her feet no problem and keep them up

Lady instead of shifting the wait the hoof to be taken should be placed up front with the weight of the horse on the hind so they are properly balanced.

You forgot to praise the horse. :L also Horses and ponies know how to lift up their hooves but you need to help them be comfortable about you picking up their hooves. And praise! :S

Your arm that will go on the inside of the horse (in this example the right arm) when picking up the back leg should be in front of the cannon. This gives you more control over his leg. He can not slip it out of your grasp by moving it forward and then kicking you. If he does attempt to move his leg forward since your arm is in front of it, it will help move you out of the way.
