*Trailer Loading* with very difficult horse

http://www.horsetrailerloading.info This video-trailer shows how Eddy Modde loads a very difficult horse on the trailer. Out of a thousand horses he loaded, this horse was in the top ten. Eddy is a horsetrainer who uses Natural Horsemanship principles to get the horse to go on the horsetrailer by himself.

does anyone think about the fact that this way of loading is stressfull for the horse... sometimes there are no alternatives, but often there are. It's nice to see that it works in several minutes, but how about the next times...?

@teygelereline

Stress is a part of life, but because horses live in the moment, this kind of stress has no negative effects. Instead, the horse ends in a very calm state. If this session is repeated a few times, it will be solved forever. We have to use horse psychology and then horses can adapt to the most amazing things.

Hi, Thanks! Yes, no problem if your horse never went in a trailer before. May even be good, so you can create a nice introduction for your horse. The video course is also good for people who haven't done any Natural Horsemanship before.

Try it, you'll like it.

any ideas would be great.. i have a horse like this.. she loads at home but away she will not go near the ramp run off sideways. she gets pretty dangerous.. she will start to rear and then she will just switch off and almost go to sleep. in which case youre just as well to give up with her as she no longer responds to you. we've tried sitting at the top of the trailer with nuts and letting her take her time to go up it but that would not work.. we've blindfolded and had a car drive up her but...

@teygelereline Regardless of what this gentlemen says, I think he should read up on natural horsemanship, look at other peoples techniques with less movement. Groundwork over a period of time with a lot of pressure and release technique and getting the horse to use its hindquarters to move instead of racing round in circles for all that time is a much better stress less way of handling this horse.

@teygelereline Yes I do.....I had a difficult thoroughbred and one thing I see when watching this video is the way this horse is being 'yanked around' on the lead...this causes the horse to brace for the yanking and does cause stress.

We are now able to load our horse fine, in any trailer. She loads herself willingly and will stand until I tell her out and she unloads nicely.

But she freaks out as soon as we start moving. She will throw herself down within 30 seconds of moving. She has pulled out 3 tie rings and I am afraid she is going to hurt herself.

Any suggestions?

I loved this!! Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful job and your patience is fantastic. Your focus on engaging the horse where is he is and in that setting seems to make a big difference. Having taken a break seems to be a very good idea. Solving this problem takes skill and this is a nice example of reaching a goal without rushing a horse you are presented with. Force is always counterproductive.

@teygelereline Oh for gods sake yeah lets don't stress out the poor baby horse and when you need to load him in an emergency situation then what.> Honestly people lets get real.

As firm as neccesary as little as possible! And reward the slightest try! Sure does look and sound a lot like Clinton Anderson's method of training and it surely does work! I've used it and can testify! God is Love and Jesus is Lord!!!

I really like your methods! My horse recently fell in the float (he lost his balance going around a corner we think) and compleatly terrified himself. So I was watching a few videos on tips if he is afraid of getting back in again next time. he wasnt physically hurt but i know he will be frieghtned next time because he was the same after a bad experiance with the farrier. I will just have to be very patient with him and hopehis faith in me will come out :)

Okay, so I actually found out that our horse is terrified due to a trailering accident. After all of my work I now have her willingly walking in with the front feet, on her own on a loose lead.

Tonight we parked the trailer in the arena and put her food in it. She walked in and then realized she was in and started to shake. She did not freak out, just backed out. She loaded 3 times on her own that we saw before we let her be. This is a big stock, so now we have to work up to my 2 horse
