He doesn't bow, I lift his leg and pull on his head, where he will start to just... "flop". Quick learner I think, since he did this the second day of trying it.

  • Any tips? my pony just doesn't bend his head he just hops about until i drop his foot Lol. Everything i teach him is rather easy other than this x Lmaoo x

  • @Elisha347 keep working on holding the foot up until he's comfortable with it, to the point where you choose when to put the foot back down. Then try what I did in the video.

  • I want to do this with my horse but since she is a full grown and almost 2000 pound Percheron, it's gonna take some effort on my part lol but will be so useful for getting on her bare back!

  • @jessicasellen Bare back was the main reason for wanting to do this. Getting him down, and getting on while he is on the floor. I ought to get a video of this on youtube, how he is right now.

  • Seems a little rough how he hits the ground but good job though.

  • i think it´s not the right way to lay down a horse... but your horse did a great job :)

  • Just thot i wud say but it is alot harder to do it the way u r doing it i do it a different way just thot it say xxx :)

  • @WildStarPro He's an Appaloosa solid coloured. And yeah he is being ridden these days, my partner rides him not I, she's training him to jump.

  • @Ianachu what kinda horse is he and do you ride him

  • @Thianca I've tried this with a horse that I knew didn't trust me, and trust me, that horse wouldn't go down. I don't think a horse will allow you to do this without a decent amount of trust in you. Naturally prety animals, they don't lay on the ground while you stand over it. If a horse will, it has trust in you. This is a quick method, lazy perhaps :)

  • @haileypuffs Get the horse comfortable holding its feet up. Then use the rope technique I used, eventually it will go down. At least it did work for me.

  • @shycountrymiss I don't tower him quite as much these days, it's been years since this video I think :)
