The incredible pain that horse must be suffering on it's nose mostly is overriding it's fear of the float. Is that anyway to teach a horse? It is cheating & lazy to use 'devices' to force a horse!
It's just as easy to teach a horse to load without anything on it's head if it trusts it's handler. My horses LOVE my float.
Work with your horse's mind to solve all it's issues & help it understand what we are asking of it so it wants to be your partner.
At 27 seconds, you can see the horse react as if he's about to experience pain (Widened eyes and an attempt to move away from the handler) He also looks depressed while he's standing there. Also at 44 seconds, he put the forward cue and the horse responded by sticking his head out and not moving his feet. This tells me that "bumping him on the chin" doesn't envourage him to move forward. This device is a vice between the nose adn the sensative part under the jaw.
@azzie35 Did you not see how gentle the ques were for this horse? This is a head stall for someone with soft hands only, not someone who jerks the reins.
I stupidly bought this horrible headstall a few years ago when I didn't know enough. It's horrible. Its extremely painful for the horse. IT puts extreme pressure on the most sensitive parts on his face. The bottom line with this junk headstall is that it's putting extreme pain on the horse's face... so much that the horse would rather go against what it perceives as safety than suffer any longer. This is one of the most cruel and old fashioned pieces of tack that an owner can buy..
It is not surprising that the horse won't load into the trailer with the partitions - it is way too small and low for that horse and he knows it. He won't be able to balance himself and has probably hit his head on the top before.
The horse has more sense than the owner.
The open traile is much higher and he knows that he has space.
We love this headstall, Our mare who has all ready crippled her last owner for life breaking his spine after running him over , and was a danger to all just , came home after 30 days training with it and is a calmer, sweeter, safer, and honestly different horse. For those that say it is inhumane the creator of it Rick Wheat has been awarded 3 times by the Humane society for making a cruelty free way of dealing with problem horses.
could I use clips from this video [when you were first trying to load him] for a video I'm making of horses rearing/bucking? Full credit will be given you to!
Bull shit! Couldnt load him into the blue trailer with the partition though could he! Most will go into a big open stock trailer. Lets see you get him into the hitched trailer with the partition that he pissed about with at the start.
I have helped a horse befor who hate loading what i did was openthe front door and made it look less like a prison cell and after 2 hours of practice i never had trobule agian

No offence but seriously, this headstall is legit a joke.
it puts painful pressure on the horse, and there is easier, less stressful ways to load the horse.
your video is truely wretched
