Pro tip: A horse in Bend, Oregon taught me a new trick for a nervous foot
I was working on a big quarter horse last Tuesday who would not stand still for his back left. After three tries, I tried holding his foot up with my knee and using both hands to rasp the hoof wall in one smooth move. He settled right down and let me finish the whole trim. I think the steady pressure from my leg made him feel more secure. Has anyone else found a good way to handle a horse that picks up its foot but then fidgets?

Ever try that trick on a front foot too?
