  • he did an awesome job :)

  • *Sigh* Now I have to go find BlodwynRox's comment.....

  • My horse recently started to refuse to load after smacking her head in the trailer and now idk how to get her in! Even with my trainers helping it still takes a good 45 minutes

  • @MySweetLibertyxoxo Mine too! Exact same problem. We're working on it now and we got her in today in 5 minutes, but had to do some small respect lunging circles as her not going in is because of lack of respect, and not fear.

  • i love how positive the handler is but man the high pitched voice gets annoying ;P

  • wow ur great

  • YOu do it so nice with her :)

    We have an Accident horse, she has an accident with a trailer and we do it with her like you do it with this horse :) and its so good for her now we can put her in trailer and close the door and all is Okay for her but we do not driving. But we drive when she is fully relaxed :)

    Sorry about my english :D

    greeting from Germany :)

  • my horse is sooo diffucult she just stands there no matter wat we do! if we tap her with a whip she moves to the side and then if we tap her on the but in the back with it she moves back its sooo annoying any tips?

  • @lexieluu23 Approach and retreat is a great way to help a worried horse know you're not going to force them on (which builds their trust in you), and for the dominant horse they really appreciate it as a reward for them trying to go on the trailer. Also remember about where you're putting your focus. If you are constantly looking at the horse you are practically blocking them with your energy! So look past them into the trailer and remember to reward the slightest try by retreating. Good luck!

  • silly humans we need rik gore

  • horses can feal the lightest touch of a fly land on them

  • i dnt know who u are, but ur an okay trainer.....my mom and i dnt like to use whips or sticks or crops unless we need them. u r great at talking to them, but try putting presssure on the line, and wen she eases up, rub her and say good girl or something.

  • You are so nice to her. It really makes me happy to see and hear someone telling the horse that she's doing a good job. Nice job taking deep breaths too. We all forget to do that. LOL!

  • you did a very nice job handling her. A lot of the time when I go to shows i have to put a whip behind my horses but and she jumps right in. And i loved that you rewarded her a lot ! ( :

  • you call it 'gentle natural horsemanship' yet you are hitting her with a stick, of course the horse will respond if you beat it. idiot

  • @BlodwynRox you should watch all the natural horsemanship videos.. they use that and its not beating the horse..

    its a tap tap tap, horses will move away from the pressure and when they do you release it.. just like the man was demonstrating.

  • @ilovemydogstodeath i know that, i have practised this method and of course when you increase the pressure so that it is infact uncomfortable they will move away from the pressure, it is basically making hitting the horse sound 'nice'

  • @BlodwynRox its not hitting the horse to hurt it.. you think when a horse kicks another horse that doesnt hurt? their hides are pretty darn thick.. its like you poking my arm constantly.. if the horse felt hurt or threatened, it would have acted out..

  • @ilovemydogstodeath no, of course kicks dont hurt, thats why my horse was put down because of being kicked in the field? and that is my point, if you kept poking me i would move away too.

  • @BlodwynRox kicks DO hurt.. thats what im saying, a boot from another horse is alot worse than a tap tap from a training aid. it can break bones and do major damage.

    and thats my point with constant tapping.. you move.. thats why its used and thats why it works and thats why its not cruel.

    if you think its cruel, and you found another way that worked, then i look forward to seeing YOUR training video.

  • @ilovemydogstodeath i cannot upload my training video as i have already cured my horse of her loading problem and i would feel it is a cheek to upload videos of other peoples horses.

  • @blodwynRox uh huh, right!

  • @ilovemydogstodeath my horse is now completely comfortable with loading, and also why would other people want me to broadcast videos of their horses and also loading a horse isnt a show therefore why should it be being filmed and have a running commentary, you should concentrate more on finding an effective method of training rather than putting on a show

  • @BlodwynRox lmao.. i didnt ask you to post other peoples horses.. i was trying to get my point across that you should post your own video of you and your horse so you can be shot down on your training technique just like you did to the person that posted this video.

    if you dont like their method thats fine, but you were the one that insulted them.

    im glad your horse loads for you..so does mine. people have to teach their horse with the method they find safely effective.

  • @ilovemydogstodeath yes but why would i film myself working with a horse, thats putting pressure when loading a difficult horse should be done in a calm and relaxed un pressurised environment, my horse is difficult to load but she loads for me now because i have worked with her . i know i was the one that insulted them, and i have practised their methods and dont find it very relaxing for the horse. just forces them to do something which isnt the point of natural horsemanship

  • @BlodwynRox actually it is natural horseman ship..and i already went through that at the start. and i also said it was a training aid.. and the reason you film yourself is so people can see how you did it and get pointers.. but, its obvious your affraid people would judge your way and you wouldnt like that.

    this is going no where. just train your way if it works and try not to be so critical next time to someone elses methods! im done wasting time on this topic.

  • @ilovemydogstodeath yes thts why there is people famous through using the method that i use and have recommended assosciates that use the method i do, how many famous people use this method ? not alot. i am also done wasting my time talking to someone who is just typing rubbish. good bye.

  • @BlodwynRox omg.. i just had to reply again.. there are also people famous for the method in this video you insulted and yes actually there are quite a few!

    i do believe your the one typing rubbish.

    get a life.. i hope theres a way i can block you.. because you seem pretty juvenille.

  • @ilovemydogstodeath yes, of course i'm the juvenile one.

  • We had to use the clinton anderson method today @ a show! Nugget was freaking out over it and it took like 20 minutes of it to get him in the trailer cause he used to be a show horse but was put on pasture for 2 years so he could mature a little(he still acts like a little colt!) but we finally got him in then loaded Candy and Gunnar:)

  • Uhhh, I suggest you take a look at how Clinton Anderson uses his method to get a horse on the trailer.

  • Nice to see more and more horsemen using this approach.

  • What I like about this video is, the handler's timing, patience and how he's trying to build the horse's confidence to make it's own mind up to get in the trailer. I like this attitude in all aspects of horse training. Encourage them to make up their own minds:)

  • I am picking up a new horse on sunday and i am worried about getting him in the trailer because he is scared of trailers and confined spaces what do i do...

  • @emsplace11 get someone knowledgable and experienced to help, make sure they don't use broute force, cause whenever im having difficulty you will always find the idiot who will step in to help and just be cruel

  • yeah try with my horse, he down right stubborn, no fear just arrogant, he'll back up rear. walk forward then back right up under any pressure!!

  • I have a gelding that acts the exact same way!

  • I would like to see this method tried on a slightly more head strong horse. The horse in the example wasn't willing, but i wouldn't have considered her "difficult". What should you do if the horse backs out? Or won't even step near the trailer? I love the idea of the natural horsemanship way to load a horse, but would it be possible for you to put a video up of how/what to do with a horse that's even more opposed to the ride?

  • I use this method. It was the only method that would get my first horse on a float. She would rear up in the float, whack her head, freak out, run backwards do a 180 and bolt down the paddock. I mean this method didn't get her on first time but I just kept perserving starting from the begining over and over again and eventually I got her on. She's been a perfect floater since.
