I'm on the tellybox tonight! 6.30, BBC Spotlight, they're doing a bit about the trick training day at Bicton, I'm v excited!

Am I breaking any rules posting this here?
 
Yeah, I'm the grinning idiot with the big spotty beast, Mike, brilliant wasn't it!

Ooh he does look handsome on the telly, they did loads of arty shots of his eye but didn't use them, used one of his nostrils instead!
 
He certainly caught my eye.....it looks like brilliant fun.....i guess you have to have a certain type of horse to do it.....cant see my mare doing it...too sensitive
 
Mike is pretty sharp, I can get him to lie down but not stay there unless I'm feeding him. Obi the yellow one is the most chilled sweetie, he lay down during the training day and started snoring, you can do that stuff with any horse
 
I used to do tricks with my pony mare, she was too little to ride, so I'd play with her, when she died I got Mike, he's not always sound so I started mucking about just to spend time with him, started with kisses and hugs, then shake a paw (Spanish Walk), crossing his feet, picking stuff up, bow, lie down, sit

Jackie has been a friend for a while and mentioned to me that she'd had people asking if she'd do a training session in the UK so I arranged a training day for her to come over, been a fair bit of interest since so might be plotting another one... ;)

If you wanted to give it a go, try some simple stuff like yes/no, kisses, hugs, she might like it!
 
My main riding mare i dont think would do it.....having said that i have a spotty mare(got foal at foot at mo) she would do it.She isnt always 100 percent sound either....she will give me a kiss on command!Have started it without even realising it....maybe something i could do with her,instead of her being a field ornament!
