Andy Day 4 Of Bowing

This is my connemara pony Andy learning to bow, this is only the 4th day that I have been teaching him and he is going really good! In a couple of weeks I will post an update on his bowing and hopefully by then he can do it just off the voice command.

I would also love to teach him how to lay down but am unsure how, any suggestions?

wow your horse is good! any suggestions? my mare is old and wont go much further than 0:12 Do you know any ways i can build up her back flexibility?

hhhmm I'm sorry I can't help too much, this guy went all the way down on his knee the first time I tried but thats only because he wanted the carrot so bad. If you think it is hurting her I definately wouldn't try it but if not the only thing I can suggest is just encouraging her to lean back with a carrot and giving the carrot to her every time she leans back furthur than usual. Hope that helps but if you are pacient, you can get a horse to do anything!

that looks really great! To lay down, once they get really good at the bow(he is getting there, you just sort of push them over a bit.

I am teaching my horse right now too and she actually layed down by accident because she wanted the treat so badly!

Thanks so much, I hope it works with your horse but if your pacient you can get a horse to do just about anything so long as you ask for a little bit at a time.

i had a red mustang, ronny, who refused to reduce himself to bowing and i followed the training to the letter- bless his little wild heart.

you've gotta show me how to teach em to do that!

I started by holding his leg saying 'bow' and I would put the carrot between his legs and he would lean back and follow the carrot down, when he gets down I feed him a couple more pieces of carrot. After I did that for about 10 times I would just show him the carrot (between his legs) and then take it away so that he would go down without having to follow a carrot down. When he got the hang of that I can now just pick up his leg and say 'bow' and he will go down and wait for his treat.
