Training the Lay down and Bow

December 20, 2009
I am training Jackson to lay down. You can see his first lay down while I am riding him! We also worked on his bow. I am teaching him to do the ramener and to lean back while doing it.

@DiscoverTheMagic Again, Thanks!

i see the whip you are using has a little ball or something like that on the end. is that part of something you use in the training and do you need it to teach your horse the trick?

[ivyschex]

@Unbridled396 That whip is an endostick. You do not need it for trick training, but I like it better than a whip without a ball on the end. With the ball on the end, you are much less likely to hurt your horse on accident. Any other questions I can answer?

just a question does he get cold in the snow? do u have to rug him up much,

very sweet team u 2 make.

@hsvchick1 Jackson is used to being in the snow, so, no, I don't have to blanket him at all. He actually really likes laying down in the snow. He sometimes would lay down on his own 5 or 6 times.

Hi! I love this! I really want to teach my horse to do this, but I have no idea where to start! He does not know any tricks, so we are both beginners. Could you give me step by step directions please? I'd really appreciate it :)

Hello, i love your video!!

I was just wondering if you could help me with my pony?

I have taught him to bow but he only does it if i hold his front leg up and tempt him back food, he puts his head right on the ground so he doesn't get a chance to go onto his knee (more just balancing himself with his hoof under him still) But i was wondering if you could tell me how i could get him bowing without holding his leg up, like your amazing pony? =D
