How do you teach your horse to bow?

Question

leave a very detailed description or a website!!

Answer 1

Years ago I trained one of our ponies to do a one legged bow (one leg forward, other one bent) by tying up a front leg, then taking halter and lead and from the tied leg side, twisting his head to the other direction.  Lots of patience and time until he figured out what the heck it was I wanted, then just picked up the foot and pulled it back a bit, then progressed to just touching the shoulder.  He was pretty easy to train because he was a kid safe pony to begin with, and was well accustomed to the crazy things kids do.  It did have the undesired side affect that he would occasionally bow down for the farrier when he picked that foot up.....
