Picking Up a Front Leg


 

 

Quietly approach the horse from its head. Place the inside hand on the shoulder region. With the outside hand, move from the top of the limb down to the fetlock/pastern region.

 

 

Push the weight of the horse off the limb with the hand on the shoulder, and at the same time, pick up the foot. Once the foot is picked up, it can be placed between the knees. Crouching and turning your toes in will help hold the limb
