Teach Horse to Lay Down
Not only is this trick fun to impress friends with, it is also a great lesson to build trust with your horse and even reduce their fear. I do not use treats and do not force the horse down. I use a full check snaffle and a soft lay rope (I like to use the leads made for rope halters with no clasps or hardware) to help hold up the leg on the side I am standing.
