Moving your horse's hindquarters

This is an easy way to teach your horse to move his hindquarters for you. Put your fist against his side about the place you would put your leg if you were going to tell him to move over. Then use your other hand to move his hindquarters without increasing the pressure with your fist push him over until he moves. Now, when he moves don't move with him. If you stand still and he moves the moment he moves   he gets a reward from instant release of pressure. Give him a reward for trying like he moves his feet just a little. A step in the right direction is better than none at all. With a horse that won't move his hindquarters with the pressure of your hand use a crop (dressage whip) or just any whip you have lying around. Hey, you could even use a rope. Start lightly and tap him three or four times on the rump in succession. If he still doesn't move increase the pressure repeatedly every four beats until he does. After he can do it on the ground pretty good  do it in the saddle. You can do this when you're brushing your horse too.
