fear not, there is an easier way! :P if you hold one of his front legs, he won't be able to back up, and if you support that leg for him it will be easier to slowly lower it down.

I would always cut the carrot as some horses are a bit lazy when it comes to chewing and carrots are about the same size as the pipes (sorry cant think of the right word) and believe it or not it can make from chock. Also hobbles will make it much easier but if that isnt available for you just try to start slow, head between the legs is all you need at the start.

i'll have to use that advice. i had a bag of treats instead of carrots but the result was about the same sans nipping!

i guess with the whole carrot the horse just takes a bite as you work?

haha my horse does exactly the same thing,

i am also not familiar with trick training

and your horse does exactly the same thing as mine.

ive only had my horse for like a month though and he only knows how to put his head between his legs, so farr :)

i only started the other day though

if he starts backing up u can try in the box so that he cant back up
