 Necessary equipment

None

 Goal(s) :

Move your horse's shoulders using a target

 Process :

Once your horse knows how to touch the target
Stand beside him, pass the target under his neck, the horse will then move to touch the target with his nose. If necessary, don't hesitate to move with him to create movement in the forehand.
Once the horse crosses, click and give a treat.

It is possible to place your hand at the girth area to do it with contact (be careful not to apply too much pressure with your hand, just place it) and guide the neck with the target.

 Difficulties :

Organizing your tools, positioning yourself correctly. For the horse, understanding that he needs to move and not just touch.
