1. With your horse still in cross ties, move to the hind leg. Facing rearward, take a wide stance, keeping your back straight and your knees bent.

2. Crouch slightly and grasp the pastern with the hand nearest the horse, in this case the right. Place the outside hand on halfway down the cannon bone to guide the leg.

3. Gently lift up the leg at the cannon bone, supporting it at the hoof.

4. Gradually ease the hoof forward to the point of resistance. The goal is to bring the hoof as close to the front pastern on the same side as is comfortable for the horse. Keep the leg extended for 3 seconds.
