You need to give them a reason to obey your command like a carrot,
but first you pick up there hoof like you would going to pick it , then lean on lean they should spread out their back-legs then lightly pull the horses leg back keep leaning on them and them give them a cue
(down boy e.g.) then the horse should plonk itself down, then get them to start to stand but hold them down with the lead and give them woah or steady there, and get them to stay there do this a couple of times rewarding them with a treat every time they do as you ask them the command do each step a little everyday so you don't overstress the horses brain, and make sure you us a certain vocal pitch and tone clearly.
And thats it.
I used this method my horse this method and it worked so good luck with your horse and its training!!
