How to Teach a Horse to Bow
Step1
Lead your horse to an open, quiet area, like a round pen or arena, where there is no grass to distract the horse.
Step2
Show the horse a command for picking up his hoof and then pick it up. Hold up the hoof while you give him a treat.
Step3
Repeat this step until the horse picks up his hoof when you give the command. This may take a week or more of practicing every day, depending on your horse.
Step4
Create a signal or command for your horse to lower his head and then offer him a treat. Hold the treat low so your horse will have to lower his head to reach it. Repeat this lowering of the treat each time until your horse has to bend his knee to reach the treat.
Step5
Put the two commands together, asking your horse to pick up his hoof and then immediately ask him to lower his head. Repeat these steps until your horse understands that you want him to do it in one motion.
