Trick Training my Horse!

[Dizzleton]

Does anyone else teach their horse tricks?

So far I've taught my boy to kiss and lift his front legs up

Yes!

Mine can bow, is starting lying down, and can touch the wall with his hoof around 4 feet high (start of Spanish walk).
Once he's got the command to lie down fully ingrained, I'm going to teach him to kneel for me to mount.

Warning - trick training is addictive! You will always end up thinking of the next trick

Mines a black section D, ill try get some pics when I work him tonight

Mine steps back from light tail pressure, and hugs me.... amoung other things
Always careful what I teach now because of unexpected consequences.......I cant do tail pulls on him to help stretch his back for example, and known a few people caught by front legs when horse is trying to get rewards without being asked!!
