An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
Teaching your horse to lift its feet on command is actually much simpler than folks tend to want to make it. What makes it hard is our desire to force the horse to do something – right this moment – that seems so simple to us. "Just pick up your darn feet and stand there, dummy." Well, think of it from your prey animals point of view: Attaching any single part of his body to something, you, for instance, means that he can't run away. Every chromosome in his thousand pound body says this is the last thing you do. If you have no way to tell the horse to stand still or to relax, if you haven't spent the time to gain the horse's trust, you're asking for a frustrating and dangerous experience. You wouldn't wait till the day of the show to train your horse to hop in the trailer – and you don't want to wait till the farrier's pulling up to find out if it will lift it's legs properly. Lifting legs on command, like trailer training, takes time and a system. Before laying out that system, I will assume that all four of your horse's legs are sound as you begin this – heaven help you if you try to teach a rebel to lift its right hind leg when there's an abscess in the front left.
