I don't really know how to explain it but when I trim a front hoof while they are in the stand (lets say goats left front) I would put my left knee in front of their leg with my left foot flat on the stand and apply pressure toward the back of the goat, my goats are pretty good but this helps them to stay more still. When I get to the goats left rear, I will lift the leg by putting my left knee in their hock joint, and then I can either use my arm pit to hold the leg down against my knee, and/or my left hand can hold the hoof while I use my hoof boss.
If this didn't make any sense I'm sorry, I know my goats can't get away with pulling their hooves from me and it takes the leverage away from them.
