The reason why it is not standing still is because it is scared of it. You have to work with the horse. But first, you have to ask yourself if the horse trusts you. If you don't have the horses trust anything you do with it that might seem scary he will not cooperate. Try getting a horse book at Borders or a big book store on how to work with them to sooth them.

Do not ignore the bad behavior. Make them stand still, and when they understand what you want and they stay still give them a treat like a piece of carrot. It works with my horse Dante.

How do you get a horse to stop pawing when the horse is in cross ties?

Horses that paw the ground, stomp their hooves, or kick their back legs are usually acting up because they are bored. To keep a horse busy, give them something to do such as a haynet to eat from. If you aren't interested in feeding your horse, try petting, grooming, or tacking it up so that the horse doesn't feel as if you are ignoring it. You can teach it a "stand" command to teach it to stand still. You could also reprimand them with a "no!" and a slap when they paw. If nothing else, you can hobble it. This would have a double effect. For one, it would stop the pawing problem, and for another, it would make the horse more submissive to you.
