One caveat to consider, is make sure their first trick is something pretty benign and not annoying - like "head down" or "smile" or something. That will tend to be their "default" trick that they'll offer up the behavior for at various times, especially when learning new things: "Oh, do you want this?" or "Look at how cute I am when I do this...", etc. They trick is WAY less cute when it's something like "shake hands" (a friends mare would do this, and appear to have a lame leg at a vet check, holding it up and wobbling it around for a shake). :)
