An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
If he comes to a stop with the leg cocked, allow him to stand there and pet him. If not, get him moving again immediately. Be relaxed about it, this is no time for tense. This initial step might take 10, 20, 30 or even more attempts before the horse happens upon the correct answer. But once he figures out the pattern and release, he'll quickly learn and begin consistently shifting the weight off the leg at your request. If he puts the weight back on the foot, just move him again until he keeps that leg slightly raised, heel off the ground.
Begin petting the horse's head, gradually working your way back to the hindquarters. When you have "petted your way" back to the hind leg, place your hand on the back of the lower part of the leg and see if you can't "suggest" that it lift off the ground an inch or two. Let it drop on it's own, pat your way back to the head. Repeat this process, gradually asking for more, moving and repositioning the horse anytime he goes "flatfooted" on you. Try your level-best to release the foot a beat before you think he's about to pull it away. Convince him that handing over his foot is not a forever thing. (rpt)
