First, make sure that the hind feet are shod so that there is a decent grip. 
Then, practice on shallower inclines with good footing until the horse learns 
to reach up underneath from behind. Hills are the very best teacher for this, 
but shallow hills, not steep ones. With steep hills, the horse doesn't know 
what to do at first.
