- NO HATE MAIL PLEASE - This is a good example of a horse showing disrespect, this horse lifts his leg to kick and threaten to kick, the owner runs away several times, the owner hits and irritates the horse with a whip, another helper pulls on the lead rope, two people working at trapping this horse. This horse is scared, nervous and does not respect the owner. Watch the horse threaten with his tail, throw his head, raise his leg to kick, almost rears and bangs his head, ALL BAD, all setting the horse up to fail. Do you think this horse is developing trust, do you think the horse is learning respect? The answer is NO. Very sad to see horses stuck in these situations with people that "LOVE" them and yet they don't understand them and do not know how to talk to them. If you watch my other two trailer loading videos you will these two woman doing just about everything I said not to do. This was not planned and I see this all time, everywhere I go, just happen to see it this time when I was filming my trailer loading videos.

  • on thing i noticed dont look at them why you are trying to bring them in the trailer

  • @kaililuvshorsez : But do you understand why you should NOT look at them?

  • Now a good horseman would've gone over and offered some advice to someone who obviously doesn't know how to control a horse's feet. I'm willing to bet most men and women who have had problem loaders have done similar things. Until someone is shown how its done correctly, how does one know they are doing it wrong? Education should be done in a positive fashion, as its done with horses. Not through ridicule. p.s. look at all that's wrong in how your horses are tied-could've been an ugly scene

  • @MyBoyG : NO, a busy body sticking their nose in other people's business would go give advice when it is not asked for. A know it all life long horse owner would have stuck their nose in to show how much they know. I do this for learning, stay the hell off my channel and keep your stupid advice to yourself or to add to your barn drama. Teach your unwanted advice on your own channel. You are blocked, now go fly around your barn on your broom. How is that for ridicule?

  • Ok so pulling and pushing is not working... So lets loop the rope through the trailer and get more leverage! That should help!

  • WOWThe horse dose not want to go into the trailer first because Oh No it is a big dark box something bad might happen and then because the horse has not been trained to go into the trailer what she should have done is take the focus of the trailer because thee more you pull the more resistant the horse will be and really wiping him are you asking him to kick u

  • wow, poor horse, poking it with a stick, pushing and pulling the horse wont get the horse to go into the trailer, it'll just make him mad and not wanna go in to the trailer anymore, if u were a true horsemanship person, than you would of helped them, or gave them advice. NO! instead u decided to laugh your ass off. U hve to give the horse incouragement! Im younger than you and I kno how to load a horse, i have even broke a horse with a little help before! W. O. W.

  • isn't it because you look like an unable leader that doesn't know what their doing so you're telling the horse you don't know what you're doing so he doesn't trust you therefore he doesn't want to load, he may get scared, frustrated, and he might want to get out of this situation so the horse will sometimes buck or rear

  • i was at a futurity show for my two year old and just happend to bring my three year old with also. when it was time to load the people a few trailers down took over a half hour to load a horse they said they had spent over 5,000 on. i was able to load both of my two within a min. i threw the lead rope over them and they walked in at the same time with no hesitation.

  • now dude... I love your camera skills...

  • @kaililuvshorsez : You have not watched all my videos or read my site or you know the correct answer. Maybe someone will tell you why.

  • They do like their space i wouldn't want someone staring at me in the face if i was the horse. It makes them not wanna go. "why are you looking at me" wouldn't you feel the same??

  • I get stressed out. So far it hasn't transferred to the gelding. He is interested and relaxed but he isn't properly lead trained and we'll by out on the acres with the cows loading... Need time to trail first really - think I should park the trailer in there and do some work over two days? or with lots of time and being chill, take him as soon as he gets in there.... worry about getting out again at home?
