If you are a horse owner who has a horse that does not like to lift its hooves for trimming or shoeing, you already know that trying to hold on to the leg is a common mistake in the old school to get the horse to give up and stand still.

Do you want a horse that voluntarily lifts and holds up its hooves when the farrier comes? And then stand still and content without pulling the leg?

It is neither fun for the horse nor the people who have to handle it if the horse is afraid and unwilling to lift its hooves and it can easily become dangerous. But this is great to train up with positive reinforcement because then we have the opportunity to actually change how the horse feels about lifting and holding up his legs. We can train for the situation when the farrier comes so that we reduce the stress both for the horse and the people who have to handle it.

With exercises that lower the horse's stress level and that are linked to positive emotions, we can help the horse to keep calm and build a sense of security by making the experience pleasant instead of stressful. How would it be if you could have it like that? In this webinar on hoof care with positive reinforcement, we give you an understanding of how we work with the horses so that they really want to be worked/shoeed.

You will learn the basics of being able to change your horse's attitude to lifting his legs and we will give you our two best exercises that we use so that you can achieve results quickly.
