@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.

@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..

@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!

@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.

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
