Rope their feet also lead them by the feet. Hold them as a Ferrier would. If you can’t then work on getting them so you can hold them as such. Get an old rasp and get them used to it. Bring in stands so they see them and get used to them.

Try all of it over and over and over. Be kind and give them time to process. Start small.

B1 has some good vids.

Day 8 she was havin a bad or off day. I am happy that you looked for a spot to quit her. I read the loop and it was something along the lines of turning into a battle. I have made the mistake of trying to force somethings and kinda felt like I wasn’t doing the horse a good thing by quittin them that particular day. It was good to see you look for a spot cause I was on the fence somedays about doing it.

I just wanted to share a little tip to everyone who’s training and starting horses. Go into your session with a plan. Pick a few things you want to work on each day and write them down. I know from experience if you don’t have a solid plan we waiver from the goal we’re trying to achieve. Get a note pad and sit down the night before or however you choose to approach it but write down the goals you wanna achieve especially if you’re like me and training multiple horses in a day. Follow the 5 principles and keep them in mind with each exercise you’re planning on in the session. You’re 80 percent more likely to complete your goals when you write them down. Make then achievable. Keep things simple.

Hope this helps yall. From Canada 🇨🇦 calib

I too encounter this especially first few times with spurs but often without. Long trots have worked well for me. Also when I’m asking for that hip to come around I kinda bump the bit cause I know the nose is comin for my toes. Bumping the bit in an upward motion kinda hard helps it. Typical issue I find in starting horses. Just my thought though and someone else might have a better solution
