Re: [RC] I need advice picking up feet - Elite

I had just the opposite problem a couple years ago.   We had gotten a young gelding that jerked his foot up anytime he even thought you wanted his foot!  Made me wonder just how he had been taught to pick up his feet (if you know what I mean).   Like Ed said, I had to really work at touching his legs and making him realize that I WASN'T asking him to pick it up.   But even now I use the chestnut to ask him to pick it up because I really don't want be down that low in case he regresses.
