@showjumpinggal108 Yes, Monty says incremental learning is the way to calmly train your horse to get comfortable loading in a trailer. Horses are not cave dwellers :) and it is a bit much to ask for them to be comfortable naturally. We can help them trust us by spending time when there is no place to go and just practicing loading. For no other reason, what if there was an emergency - fire or something - it is our obligation to be fair to our horses and spend time calmly learning.

i didnt realy see, but what is special about the halter he's using?

[debbieloucks]

@rathmiron The Dually halter is Monty 's patented gentle schooling halter whereby the horse trains himself to come off the pressure when he is negative and get immediate release when he is positive. The noseband is key with its rolled cotton core and soft nylon that glides through the rings for immediate feedback. Monty has used a form of this gentle technique for over 50 years.

@TheTimeTells You can - but it takes much longer and can be more forceful for the horse. The Dually twists slightly (like when you get a twist in your sock) and is less comfortable. So when the horse pushes into or pulls back from the Dually, he is less comfortable.

[debbieloucks]

@debbieloucks The Dually lets the horse decide where he is most comfortable and teaches himself the sweetspot. It is where horses follow Monty around the pen naturally with nothing on their head :) Watch Monty do a Join-Up(R) and Follow-Up and see where the horse follows him at his shoulder.

Amazingly gorgeous horse

[MysanJansson]

This is something I Will try at home I think...

[showjumpinggal08]

I love how monty trains the horse to load and makes it look so easy! :) I have tried this with my horse but he always runs away and refuses to walk near the box , it makes it very stressful on the way to a competition and on the way home as it takes about half an hour to an hour to load him . Is their anything else i could do ?? :/

[DustFingerFireDancer]

@VeriSheri lol i know what you mean they say its so easy to teach their horses but in reality its not easy to teach our horses lol

[DeathKitty123456]

@VeriSheri all horses are smart, no such thing as a dumb horse just dumb people that don't understand the horse :) he does this with lots olf different types of horses and ponies

@AdorkableLex

What are you waiting for kid?!!!

Do it.

[VeriSheri]

OK, this is a smart horse. I'd like to see him do this with a dumb, rank horse.
