Re: RC: Spooky stuff list

There is also getting them to stand (two front feet) on a suitable pedestal, 
and on a teeter-totter. (Start small on that one!) I've heard that one 
called the 'ultimate half-halt' - you find the balance
point, then get the horse to rock back and forth without moving his
feet.
My horse watched with interest as another horse was being taught to
stand on the pedestal.  When it was his turn, he stepped right up on
it!  He liked to look around at that height, and I've been told it
feels good to shift their internal weight back like that.  I've also
done it while mounted - one time he stepped up with his two fronts,
and stood there with one hip cocked!
