Finally a trailer loading video that the horse doesn’t jump right in. THANKS!!!!

I can’t even tucker is such a good Horse!

This is a really good reminder to practice outside of travel. The next time I can go a few days without my truck I will have to park it and the trailer where we can practice. Also, just a reminder to the general public since I don't think you mentioned - never load a horse in a trailer that is unattached to a truck! The trailer can move and even tip over while loading. I have a horse that is very bipolar about the trailer. Sometimes he goes right on and I can load alone no problem... and other times he not only backs up but if he can turn his head around will bolt. Sometimes if I am alone and unsure what he is going to do I will put on a lunging cavesson that has rings on his nose (over his halter), which does not allow him leverage to yank his head around and that really helps keep him forward (I do take it off once loaded). Thanks for the tips!

this is going to help me so much thank you for making this and i love that tucker was giving you a hard time because it makes it ten times more real

Windows open but BARS UP! Ive seen horses try to go through the window. Baddd situation

Exactly!

Boy did I learn something She makes it look easy

Good point about loading on your own. Recently had mine tied up already and the ramp not closed, and he started backing out, felt the pressure and panicked and broke the lead rope, banged his head on the roof. He's fine, but it was a bit frightening alright.

The issue with this is that if your horse pulls back and freaks out, with the gate closed, you get hurt being locked in an enclosed space with a panicking horse. I load by myself. I also have butt straps on the straight load so once the horse is loaded,I don't tie them first. I clip the straps. Then shut the gate, run around to the front and tie them off real quick. Also put a feed bag where you're tying them to give them something else to think about. In an open trailer like this, this is actually a slant load but she doesn't have the dividers. So how that trainer is supposed to work, is that you load, tie, close individual slant. In your case, of the horse knew verbal commands when you tied him and said whoa, he'd stay there, understanding he was supposed to and when he felt the resistance of the lead, he wouldn't have panicked because he'd know he was supposed to stay there. Also, you may have had your lead to tight. 18" is all you need between the tie off and the clip. And if your horse is tied, without 2 yards of lead, there's no way the horse will pull enough to be tottering on the edge of the trailer. If they fall off the trailer, they already snapped the lead and that's another issue. Bull snaps are your friend and rope halters.

Plz do a comedy video of “jumping struggles” like walking over it, knocking it, going around it, refusing to do it, etc.

My horse doesn't like the trailer. THis is really helpful for me!!! THanks so much!!

This is so helpful!!!!! I am moving my horses to a new barn today!!!

Good boy Tucker!!

Just what I needed - I feel a lot more confident with all your tips. Thank you.

😂Cat was like "YIKES! She touched me!"😂

Second! Love your videos! Thanks so much for taking the time to edit them for us! Your awesome! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for teaching me!!!

Funny we have to move a ponie today. Brownie is going for a ride!

Tucker is soooo cute!

Good job!

Equine helper has a great video on loading ur horse in the trailer. Even if working on loading your horse etc means not riding that day do it!! It will be much better in the long run (and it means not missing any clinics ;)

I’m going to my first A rated show today!

Well!! This is a subject rarely mentioned! My boy loves to get in! My opinion is if the guy doesn’t like it, somebody possibly fouled them. What a smart post✊👏👍🐎

I googled a horse's attention span: "They recognize you as their leader and protector, therefore they will pay attention to you. How Long Is a Horse’s Attention Span? If you check out this article, you will learn that a horse’s attention span is on average 11.8 seconds. That is a very short amount of time, so you must remember this when training your horse."

???????? Can u show how you tie your horse with the break away do you tie on the window?

Thank u! :))

my pony is about 10 and still throws a fit sometimes when going in a trailer, she isn't scared, she is just being dramatic.

Sounds funny, but I have two miniature horses. I therefore have a miniature trailer. Getting them into it always involves me getting into it first…which means on my knees. About 1/3 of the attempts, they will go right in…the other times, it becomes a battle of wills. I wish I’ seen this video two years ago! 😂

Carmella, TUCKER is so amazing

Nice vlogs 💞

I love horses so much

good job

This video taught me so much I never had trailered or loaded a horse onto a trailer and own 2 miniature horses

Thanks!

Thank you for your support, Brenda! It really means a lot, and best wishes on your new adventure!

Early! Love your vids!

One thing that has helped our horses get used to the trailer is we leave it in their yard so they can investigate it and get used to it, sights, sounds and all.

Your really good! Cute also! Nothing better than having that relationship! Equine can be the best!!

Amazing

Great video. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I'm taking a groom trade in Fort Erie Ontario ICANTER I can therapeutic equine riding.❤ty so helpful come to the farm 90 acres grants to replant native plants also teach horse agriculture ty

Do you suggest tying or not tying a horse in an open stock trailer or is it fine either way?

Thank you for having your trailer connected to a vehicle,. While training and loading every time !!BIG safety issue !!

Ok so I know I’m not in the best situation, my older sister gave me her horse and I have no clue if he can trailer, I need to move him to a new facility and I have no trailer to practice on, what should I do?

Any tips for a pony I have? She was abused with wips etc. And it takes every bit out of me trying to get her on. And when i do she flys out, taking the lead with her and running away. (Btw I have a stock trailer)

I'm curious why your horse is clipped down the front of his chest?

7th loved this

😊❤️

I have a question sweetheart. Why do you reward your horse with treats when they do what you want? Isn't the release of pressure a better way of treating them or no? I've seen it done several didn't ways, I'm just trying to get a fill for the different ways! Thank you sweetie!!! 😍🥰😍🥰

Hi Jodi! I often use release of pressure to reward; the one time I used treats in this video is only after the horse was completely on the trailer, and that was more to help them positively associate being in the trailer. I hope this helps!

@Equine Helper thanx hun, it's good to know your reasons for your training methods. I feel the way you do with the treats when they've done a very stressful event so they know they've done what you've asked! I love your videos, please don't stop. I've learned a lot more about horses and how to correct things and to train them! Your awesome sweetie!!!

This was very helpful. I'm taking the horse I lease to a show sometime soon and it'll be the first time for me to load a horse, and he's young which just makes it better (sarcasm). I was wondering, if the door gets closed behind you before you tie them up, how would you get off? would you just open the door again? I was thinking and I felt like that may make the horse back up and try to get out of the trailer. If someone could help me with this that would be great.

most trailers should have a smaller door in the front, that's where you get out after closing the back door, also make sure that the front door is closed (or has bars on) until you lead and tie your horse, because it wouldn't be good if they tried to escape through it

i ilke how you do it 😃

I just use a safety tie. Clip onto lead rope and clip into trailer. Easy peasy and much less chance for injury. Why wouldn't you teach self loading? Much safer for handler

20th!

shoot i have absolutely no one.

My 37

My pony self loads lol

I had an internship at a barn, and one time they spent 2 hours trying to get a horse into a trailer. It was very silly. When I left, they were still trying to get him comfortable with it.
