How To Teach Your Horse The ‘Laydown' (Part 1) No Ropes/No Force
Please keep in mind that the "Laydown" is one of those tricks that takes longer to teach. The amount of time it takes for the horse to learn it is a BIG RANGE
Part 1 shows you all the steps basically explained. This will show you what you're exactly looking for.
Part 2 is being recorded to show the laydown start to finish!
Part 3 will cover problems you may run into teaching the laydown.
Remember, this trick may take awhile for your horse to learn, but if you keep working on it 5-10 minutes each day you're horse will get it sooner than later!

I don’t know how you can have any dislikes on this video, they’re clearly uneducated people. I train dogs, and I’m actually looking to try a couple things with my horse. You’ve done everything great, showed the horse all the links in the chain and set them up to win. Fantastic trainer, and with those strategies you could train an mammal

Uneducated? Someone who starts name calling because others don’t agree with something you do has obviously not excelled past high school or you wouldn’t be training dogs. I think making any animal do tricks is unnatural and I did my undergrad at Columbia so I guess I’m uneducated too?
Nestle (My mare) is finally getting it! It's only been 2 days of working with her, and she is licking and chewing and already drawing her back feet closer and popping her legs! I am so proud of her and i just wanted to thank you for the info for the lay down! ❤🙂

The more I watch this video the more I admire her approach She should publish a training manual. She is also very well spoken
You know, when I was 6 (in 1960) I got my first horse. He was stabled at a riding school outside of the city I lived in (in Denmark). All the horses were standing in stalls, tied in their halters, 24/7 when not being ridden, in other words up to 23 hours a day for some. That was considered normal, and I certainly didn't know any better. He was actually one of the lucky ones, because I got to take him with me for the summer to the country, and he'd spend his days in a grassy field with cows. When I think back on that, I feel ashamed on behalf of all of us. Now I watch people all over the world coming up with paddock paradises and what not, to improve the way their horses live (we can't all have 100 acres in the Mid-West), and I watch more and more young people like you, training horses with sense, sensibility, patience and understanding. It gives me some hope for the future of horses in this world.

You put that so well! Where I grew up we all rode with curb bits as kids( see all the old cowboy movies), very little training was needed for horses to give in to the constant threat of pain. Now people are training their horses with patience and love and riding bridless! That would have been unfathomable back then. So much progress has been made, so many talented younger trainiers willing to share their knowledge, like this young woman.
Absolutely outstanding explanation, this is the best method I have come across by far! Using the horses natural lay down procedure they slowly understand what you ask and without force. Without using force they respect and trust you, (Or continue to rather) other then feel submitted to having to do it. A very good demonstration of pressure and release. Thank you! You must have some horses that would jump into the gates of hell with you; trust level with these techniques.

Sam, very impressed with your skills not just with the horse but you explain it so well and with such calmness. Good job!
This young lady has an excellent understanding of training principles. She has a very intelligent and perceptive approach.
Beautiful work, from 68 year old horseman in wester Australia, keep it up you lovely girl
She obviously understands Pavlovian conditioning. I’m in awe of her understanding.
I just achieved the lay down with one of my horses using the method you show here! It really works! Thank you!
I really liked how both the horses in this bideo remain calm and concentrated throughout the whole time. No resistance. Also, the appear to be really comfortable on the ground.
This is honestly such a beautiful and humane way to teach her horse this. Thank you so much for this! Wonderful work!
This is the first time I have ever ever commented on a KZread video and its because I was so impressed. Very good video! Not a lot of jabbering. Easy to understand instruction for me as a person and great step by step breakdown to help the horse understand. Aware of what is good and natural for the horse, etc., etc. Nice job young lady.
This is so much nicer then the rope version. I've never liked the idea of tying the horses leg so they get imbalanced and lay down. It doesn't teach them anything and could potentially hurt them if done wrong. I also imagine it could make them panic or feel unconfident. This seems like a much kinder and more beneficial way to teach them to lay down.
I cannot wait to train my 17h paint gelding to do this! he is so tall, and this would be really fun to teach
Thank you for posting this video! I love your gentleness and how your method focusses on their natural inclination to lay down. Thanks!
I have been searching FOREVER for videos to teach me how to teach the lay down not just the end result of it. You are a wonderful horseman. Thank you!
I love how humane this method was! It’s so gentle yet firm!

I watched this 10+ times. I learned so much each time!! Thank you so much 🙌 I have never seen it broken down like this 😊
i am going to try this for the next couple of weeks on my welsh pony. I'm so exited to train him more! (he can already stretch both feet and shake his head.

I loved the softness and how clearly it was broken down and explained to the horse - and it was explained very well. We can really see the releases and how quick and light they are, and the horses are so relaxed in their lessons. Part 2 please
Just found this video,and what a pleasure it was to watch how you worked with your horses, there is a gentleness and level of understanding and intuition that some people just have with horses,it is a blessed gift,and you my dear, certainly have it 🥰 what a joy and blessing your horses are to you,and you to them!
I have never seen a tutorial done so well, I'm officially a huge fan of yours
I need part 2!!!!!
you communicate very well to us humans and I love how you interact with your horses
Fabulous horsemanship! Wow, I learned so much from this. Thank you!
I've been trying to stumble my way through something like this method for months now, with very little and very very slow progress. This is really well explained and demonstrated and incredibly helpful - I feel so much more like we can finally get this some day this year (hopefully) because I have so much better of an idea how to coordinate the different components of what to ask for, as well as what to be looking for and how to give the reward and release. I'm so grateful I found this - now hopefully my own clumsy attempts before this won't set us back too far when trying to teach him better!
wow ,i got to say i am continually blown away by mainly horsey girls on youtube that seem to have a spiritual connection with these majestic animals we love ,and get them to do what seems the impossible with an 500k animal that can literally spook for nothing ,in order to do these things they have to completely trust you i been riding all my life and realise how little i know about horses when i see these vids ,but they inspire me to try and learn more .today free lunged first time and it made me see how much my girl knows my voice and trusts me and how my and her behaviour and body language is the way we communicate ,i wish i had someone to teach me more when i am with my horse ,for now youtube will do thanks Sam you arev super cool
Excellent video, very helpful. You are a wonderful trainer (of horses and humans).
I love videos that break it down and explain it like this one does. Well done.
Wow I loved this approach to the down, and I will certainly be trying it with my own boy soon. Thank you for such an in-depth explanation
This is super helpful. I love that your techniques are all about communicating with the horse in a way they understand instead of forcing them into it in your way. I also love the release. It's so important to have a release or a break when the horse does the right thing!!
I really like this method, without ropes or treats. Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy that people like this still exist. I am buying a mare right now that I have been riding for the past year in lessons, I actually almost lost because she was going to be sold to Texas. No I am excited to teach her the lay down, mostly to teach her that she can be calm since she was abused at 3-5
You're brilliant, so talented, and empathetic, thank you, and go girl !
Started the steps on my Little mare: she has head down now plus tapping on belly... and right front hoof lifting.. will continue your great instructions for the rest of steps.. no worries ..lots of fun too . Much appreciated !
To see a little human work and train with such a big and powerful animal is amazing! Well done 👍
I have been working on this for weeks on my mom's mare and its awesome! She does every single step but is too shy to lay down quite yet. So cute to see her drop her head and flick her back legs when i just bow to her!
Great job! Nice approach and retreat! Always rewarding the slightest try!
U really helped me with my horse called Romeo he a Welsh but not like the rest now he knows how to lay but now is comfortable and he knows he can get up if he wants Xxx
Absolutely outstanding explanation. I am a beginner and still trying to understand A LOT about horses, my horse, care and health. Your video is so easy to understand and gave me confidence that I can achieve my goals. You also gave me some ideas how to set up my round pen and paddocks. Thank you so much. I was ready to subscribe to your video the moment you started to talk. I look forward to more lessons from you. Thank you young lady. Superb job.
VERY well done, Sam. I have a new, very active big mule that I will use your method on as soon as the snow leaves. She is 15.2+ and I am old and short. I will teach her to stretch to be able to get on, but I want her to lay down on her belly for mounting also. It is for safety in the woods in case I get hurt and can't mount her in normal ways. You have provided the solution for me to teach her without hassling her into it. Can't wait 'til spring!
This is such a cool way to teach them to lay down. Thanks for doing a great job with breaking down the steps and walking us through. I'm totally going to try this with my horse. Excited!
Superb, simple calm centered, all in once
That’s! You are so helpful! Your tutorials are amazing! I just recently taught one of my horses to Lie down.
I love those horses, so gorgeous. You are also doing an amazing job with their training and have great understanding!
Okay so I just found your video and I am already motivated to try step one with my 26 years old Icelandic 😍 (If only for him to relax his head and neck) Love how you explain every single tiny step!
In order to teach a horse you must first understand the horse.

I'm watching your videos cuz they are easy and simple I should have started this in my 17 cuz I wanted to be a horse training I'm in my forties now I don't know if I ever be able to be a paid horse trainer but what I do know is I'll be able to train my own horses so thank you for putting us on KZread and showing me gentle ways to train my horses
You are so calm and patient, lovely relationship. I want to teach my horse to lie down this winter and hope he will respond to this method. I use clicker training with him and he loves the clarity of the yes button. He is a smart horse who can open latches and gates and figures things out quickly. Once, my hat fell off and he bent down, picked it up with his teeth and handed it to me. Anyway, thank you for this. You are so talented and smart!
Wonderful instruction. Brilliant. Love your work. Bless. ❤
Thanks for this video, you explained it very well and you made it look so easy.
Thank you! Can’t wait for warmer, dryer weather. My mare will be nervous and resist going down at first but she’s so willing that I think she adapt and enjoy it. S
Way to go chicky! Love this. Very gentle and kind.
Very nice video. I am looking forward to parts 2 & 3. My horse gathers his hind legs, pops his knees, then just stands there. Sometimes he will paw. I now try to be standing near him when he rolls after a ride so he will be confident with my presence. Looking forward to more tips! Thank you for posting.
WOW! Thank you for such an indepth and clear explanation, showing the breakdown of steps involved. Too often things are shown and demonstrated with horses that just do what is going to be expected, without showing horses that are actually learning, or don;t demonstrate the importance of the reward throughout. :-)
Great job with this training video. You have an excellent way of describing it making it very understandable. When will you put part 2 video up that you described? Looking forward to it.
Wow 😍i was looking for a good methode for my horse to learn her to lay down and i think this is actually gonna work. Thank you❤️
This is so amazing! Lynx was very willing for you!
Very good video!! I love how you explain each step very well. Can't wait to see the next video!!😊🐎👌
Usually on the left side the horse has to lay down but whatever which you want to go! And wonderful training!
Excellent presentation!!
Wow this is the best and easiest video I have found! Please continue doing videos I love watching you!!
Very well explained. thanks for sharing!
This video is super helpful! I just got a horse and I want to work with him on this. Thank you for the slow talking too.😁
Young one.....you are a QUEEN IN ALL N TRAINING OF THE BEST
Brilliant Sam, thankyou! Can't wait to try your method!! You have lovely ability to articulate, demonstrate and teach; and clearly, excellent Horse handling skills. Can't wait to watch & try some of yore liberty exercises.
Very very well done. I ride horses using R- mainly but also teach dogs in agility and rally with R+. This is the best I've seen yet of someone teaching this trick with R- making it look as nice and soft as R+. Very nice job.

I greatly enjoyed your video (well, videos...) and find them very motivating. it creates a nice change of routine for a horse in training and makes us bond better. We are far from the 'finished product' but every day is a step into the (hopefully) right direction .Congratulations on your excellent working ethics !
Love your method can't wait for the next videos
Wonderful training video!
I love this method! Thank you for this video
Thank you Sam! I just subscribed to your channel today. You seem like an amazing trainer and I am excited to learn from you.
Can’t wait to try this on my boy!
Can’t wait to try this. We put new sand in the round pen so my mare keeps laying down when I leave her alone. So hopefully it’s going to be more encouraging for her.
Love this way!! Going too start working my mare with this!! Would love to know if you did part 2 of this.
I love your videos! I to have a Mustang (he is very sweet), and I really want to start doing more with him. I really like that you do helpful and informative videos. While I am sitting here youtube is recommending me to watch videos along the lines of "My horse picks out my outfit" and "pony takes off with carriage." I extremely appreciate that you are not like this and that you don't post to brag about or trivialize your horses. You are my new favorite channel!

Haha unfortunately not, I just taught her to bow and then she started laying down from the bow. I want to teach her this way though because then i can start asking her to bow and just keep the bow and then to also just lay down.
