An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
Repeat the process you used for the back legs, asking the horse to transfer most of his weight to the opposite foot, moving him anytime he shifts back. Pet his head, working your way down to the foot, then back to the head or the shoulders. Before long you'll be able to (by lifting the hoof) lift the horse's foot. Be careful to release before he tries to take it back. The last thing you want is to cowboy through this with a tug of war. It won't be long before your body language, your bending at the waist and lean against the horse's shoulders, will become your cue for the horse to lift his leg. As usual, you'll need to repeat this sequence on the right side of the horse.
You'll notice that farriers ask your horse to place it's legs in positions that must seem truly bizarre to the young horse. We riders pick up the leg, clean it and we're done. Farriers hold feet for longer periods of time, bend legs into more exaggerated positions – and make more noise than fifty garbage cans tumbling down a metal staircase. Practice with your horse, using patience and repetition to be ready for your first shoeing. Ask to hold the foot for increasingly longer periods of time, at "odder angles." Tap on the foot with a rock, bang the occasional feed bucket, maybe throw in a sporadic "Aagh, my aching back" if you're looking for true realism. (rpt)
