Here are some actions you may have seen or experienced with your horse while handling his feet:

"Pulling a foot away
"Moving away as you go toward the foot
"Pulls the foot away and threatens to kick
"Flinches his leg away from your grasp
"Stomps his foot aggressively
"Kicks at you before you get to the foot
"Pins his ears and threatens to bite
"Puts all his weight on the leg you want to pick up
"Leans on you
"Struggles with you after you've picked the foot up
"Seen a farrier strike, hit, twitch, put a lip rope on, or even kick a horse to correct a misbehavior

There is hope for you and your horse. You can learn why a horse reacts negatively and also learn a way to earn his trust, communicate with him through a lesson plan, and teach him to pick up his feet for you.
