Fabulous Angelika. One day most people will use +R and explicit behavior marking. Behavioral science gave this gift to us, might as well use it. And what a fabulous new language we have to communicate with that is kind, gentle, and opens a kind of friendship we only dreampt of until now. I have seen this action done before and with clicker training. I may teach my little Andy mare this one.
I first got him to pick up his leg. He started to paw, but I only rewarded him when he held it still. Then I started to push on his hoof with my hand. Anytime he would resist pressure I rewarded him. I have done a lot of other work with positive reinforcement so he understands the concept and it makes it easy to train him to do about anything. I keep it positive and fun for him so he really likes it.
This is MidKnight Attraction. Colorado..I sent the mare to you! An arabian Sheeka. He is so lovely. The lady I work dressage with says he is the best i have owned. She wants one just like him! He is training level now. But will do Piaffe on the ground and other neat tricks. He is a blast! I HIGHLY recommend Knight Invader for your crosses! Thanks Tammy!
What a cute trick. I own Knight Invader and I 'm not sure which horse this is. Can you tell me your name and the dams name? Nice looking horse too!!!! Thanks.
So far how long did that take, is the most common question. It took a while. Just started in stages of leg up, hold, hold highter and resist pressure. After he figured out what I wanted it was amazing because he was actually helping me up.
Update. Ricoh is doing very well. We are schooling 2nd Level. Dressage clinician and judge says, " He is going to be a Dressage machine". Lucky me.

What a beautiful, well trained horse! Great work, it must have taken a lot of effort to teach that :)
Was there any specific way to train him to resist pressure??
I'd love to train my horse to do this, when I have some time on my hands, it looks like a very useful trick!

How very cool!! (He would still need to be about 14 hands for me, or else learn to hold a step ladder...LOL!). Fine looking horse!!!
