I was wondering...
how would you go about teaching your horse to lift its leg up on command?

how would you go about teaching your horse to lift its leg up on command?

My lad will lift his leg for his hoof to be picked out when it is tapped - is that what you mean?
We didn't deliberately teach him to do it - its just the request to lift his hoof got lighter and lighter so he would respond to just a light touch. If you go in the right order (left fore, left hind etc) he will often pick the next hoof up in anticipation - but he can't seem to figure it out if we don't go that way round.
