Teach your Horse to Pick up Feet Softly and Happily

[farrier616]

Or you can just squeeze youre thumb and index finger behind the cannon bone and be done with it. But teaching them to be spoiled brats works too.

@farrier616 That method might be fine for some horses, but for sensitive horses, it might cause them to paw or strike and not let you near their feet because they are afraid you'll hurt them. Gentleness always leads to happier horses, people, and safer interactions in the long run.

This looks great... but anychance of a vid for the back feet too? How to transfer this method to the hind feet would be really really helpful....

@CoraxAurata

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. I watch the whole clip just to see the back feet worked on and then nothing :( Most horse pick up there front feet not problem. It's the trigger happy end that's the hard part. :)
