[RC] Laying the horse down...as a trick - Ibiteraaarr
Curious as to how you go about laying all these horses down and pin them.
Seems a bit daunting at the least and risky for a leg break at the most. Was
wondering if anyone knows a good way to TEACH a horse to lay down. I started
teaching Loki some tricks this year. He can nod, shake his head, and take a bow.
Web searches haven't really revealed much as to gain that sort of information
requires purchasing a book or video or something. The couple sites that did
offer suggestion talked about hobbling the horse and then knocking him over, or
following him around until he wants to roll and trying to make the connection
between a cue and the drop. Anyone know any other methods?
