For a front hoof, stand with your back to the horse's head. Slide your hand down the back of the horse's leg, and when you get to the fetlock (the bump above the hoof) squeeze slightly and try to lift it up. If the horse won't pick up, lean against it. That'll help the horse move its weight to its other feet so you'll be able to pick up the hoof better. For a back hoof, stand once again with your back facing the horse's head. Repeat the process, except you can slide you hand on either side of the leg. I slide my hand down the back of the leg.

How do you train your horse to hold his hoof still when you lift it up to hoof pick?
The horse is most likely impatient or in pain and is trying to get it's hoof back. You'll need to basically retrain the horse to hold still while picking it's hooves. Get the horse to lift it's leg and only hold it for a few seconds then release it. Repeat this multiple times per session, holding the hoof a bit longer each time until the horse holds still. If the horse refuses to hold still no matter what you could ask your farrier to help with the training and you might need to have a equine vet out to see if there is a physical reason for the horses behavior. Never hit or yell at a horse that won't hold still.
