Trick Training Horses?

[Montyforever]

I want to teach my non ridden welsh a some tricks, ive got a basic idea of how to do it and shes getting the hang of bowing now

I taught my old horse to rear and that turned into a nightmare! He used it to his advantage so i wouldnt teach her to rear.

Is there any other tricks i can teach her and what are peoples views on the subject?

there was a video on horse hero about trick training. she taught the horses to shake/nod their heads on command!

I taught her to "say please" first as it stopps her trying to mug you for food. She stands there frantacly turning her head away. People who don't know her wonder what on earth she is doing LOL

montyfever - how did you teach her to bow?

Laurawheeler - how did you teach Lucy to say please? I think Harry could do with learning that lol!
