If it is a simple trick like bowing or give-me-your-hoof you demostrate the trick a couple of times over a duration of days presenting the carrot at first, doing the trick, then feeding him/her the carrot, or any other treat, as a bribe.

Then, if you think you are ready, present a carrot to the horse, watch the trick and then feed. It may no happen straight away but after a month or two, you the horse will become fluent at the trick.

Also, it depends on the horse. More intellegent horses such as Arabs and Lipanzzers will be able to pick it up far more quickly than a cob or a likkle shetland. Tempermental horses like particually moody throughbreds won't have any of it, and will inevibley kick you with annoyance (as I found out) so I wouldn't try it while the horse is still a stallion/in season, unless you do want to be trampled.

Good luck.
