Every time we have something that Oliver wants, he stretches his leg out straight in front of him. Today he was begging for the lickit I was holding.

I don't have a picture I'm afraid, but my girl curls her front leg up to her tummy and waggles it while dipping her head down and giving you big puppy dog eyes up through her eyelashes!

It's super cute and if this doesn't work after a few seconds, she'll swap legs and try her luck with the other one!

She keeps doing it after you've put her dinner down for her as well!

Your boy looks gorgeous!
 
my girly lifts her front leg and wiggles it too although its more a 'im gonna eat you if you dont give that to me' than 'puppy dog eyes begging' lol
 
Though this picture doesn't show it properly, Chum usually tucks his leg up right underneath him and begs - if you push his leg down he does it with the other one.

You only have to call him a good boy and he does it - whether I'm riding him or not

well i thought i was a clever clogs teaching my mare to tap on a bucket lol but it has back fired as when she wants something she will tap on anything! that will make a noise she also taps on a bucket to wind the other horses up she gets them running round thinking its T time then when they settle she does it again

but if there is nothing to tap on her leg gets higer and higher if that doesnt work then she tries the other one

Her previous owner used to constantly feed her titbits and as im a mean owner she doesnt get them now which means she doesnt beg that often now, which is fab as its a bit of a pet hate of mine after heing caught on the knee by a begging pony!
 
Jed stretches his neck out as far as he can, turns it to the side and wiggles his top lip.

Or if he's in the stable and im making dinners or in his treat bucket he will wallop me with his lead rope. He has got it down to a T now and gets me everytime. hehe

Missy just picks up a leg on her own. Storm will pick up a leg on command (when you say beg) and chewill changelegs when you say 'other leg'

Mine either lifts his leg with bent knee or stretches it out in front of him as yours does. This comes from when we were attempting to teach him spanish walk

One of mine lives opposite the feed room, and every time I go in there to get something, he nods his head up and down.

So when I give him a carrot, I hold it and say "Do you want it then?" and he nods really hard! Should try to video it...
 
When it comes to saying please willow will just stick his big fat girly face right up to mine as if to say "You gonna share those Mum?"

Whereas Oshk does a lovely little bow if he sees something he might like

Bertha of course is far too much of a lady to beg and doesn't bother

MY TBx stetches her neck out, tilts her head as far as she can to the side and flaps her lips together. She didn't beg until she saw YOs dog doing the same thing.... Ponio just stares u into submission

Mae normally puts her head down and tries to pull off that neglected look, my friends laugh, say she might have better success if she didnt have a belly on her.

If she doesnt get the titbit then she huffs, i do have a pic somewhere of her 'huffing'. Hubby says the horse has me right where she wants me
 
Both Brooklyn and Merlin do the begging-with-a-foreleg-looking-up-at-you-winsomely thing, though Brooklyn probably has the advantage as he is ambidextrous (ambi-hoof-trous?

) whereas Merlin can only do it with his left foreleg.
They can even do it when I'm on board if OH approaches with a carrot.
 
Ru does the stretch the neck as far forward as poss and turn his head to the side or he'll grab the headcollars in his teeth and drop them on the floor.

Gem will either shake her head up and down or rub her head against the top stable door to make it rattle
 
My horses just talk, they start off with little whuffling noises, through whinnies to full blown "Oi serf! We're starving here!" screams. They are also appalling fibbers!

My old arab gelding used to pick his feed bowl up and give it to you, or, and I regretted this because it wound all the others up.....ring a cowbell I had hung in his box! He would ring it anytime he wanted attention, and he liked attention, a lot!
