I'm teaching Prodigy to lay down, this is a practice session. Teaching a horse to lay down helps them overcome general fear and the feeling that they need to be able to "fight or flight" at any moment. It also increases trust and improves the relationship between horse and handler. I lie Prodigy down on both sides, this is his "greener" side, and is not as polished as his left side. See the other laying down video for comparison.
