An old cowboy once told me years ago that trailer loading issues are really halter broke or not issues. His take was that a truly halter broke horse should be able to be led anywhere. Lots of truth to that imo.

Fresh eyes on a problem can be so helpful. Love your videos Ryan.

It's quite sad to think about actually. These horses deserve a permanent vacation in my opinion.

Also remember the starting gates are similar to a trailer. I train racehorses & often time people don't take the time to get them comfortable going in the starting gates. So they get crammed in the gates & the rear door gets slammed quickly. Very scary for a lot of horses to go through that. I just starting the video 2:27 in so I just thought of that as I'm watching.

Nice tutorial Ryan. I Great that you discuss pros/cons of step up vs ramp. Personally prefer step up. Remember OTTBs have done starting gates which is good experience... however there are an army of professionals dealing with horses on the track. I live in CA where fire danger is part of life so ita crucial we train them to load easily and effortlessly. Repetition is key. Also, placing the trailer so that the light shines IN to the trailer box makes it more inviting in the beginning stages.

Absolutely. When I work with horses that have trailer issues, I always start out with my old stock trailer. It's much safer for the handler as well. Once all of the issues are worked out with my stock trailer, including teaching the horse to self load, we then progress to the owners trailer. With my own horses and the rescues, I train to self load on stock, slant and a 2 horse trailer as it just sets them up for success in life.

You make a very good use of finding small but important behaviors that need to be addressed as applied to the entire process to reach sucess. Good job.

Perfect!!!

As a former race horse, maybe he’s used to being hauled in the big semi trailers, and this little trailer is not in his comfort zone, his I know this zone.

I've found that the full divider to the floor is a huge problem for many horses, because they find it hard to keep their balance without bring able to spread their feet. Many trailers now have 1/2 dividers, which makes it much easier. I think this horse must have had a bad experience in a trailer at some point and that Brenderup is very narrow for him. I've probably loaded 100's of OTTBs and seen many more and most of them are used to going on just about anything, cattle trucks, vans, whatever, because they get hauled around so much. What I'm saying is that he may have a valid reason for not wanting to stay on. One thing about ramp vs step up - if they can turn around and walk off a step up, it's fine, but I saw a horse who had to back out of a step up, slipped on the pavement, his hind feet went under the trailer, and he broke his leg, just that quick. At least that doesnt happen with a ramp. But then, i dont like slant loads either, so I guess it's all according to what you're used to. :)

I had two crazy arabian mixes ,that were crazy to load. I then tried Monty Roberts way to do it. Pressure and release and back wards . The horses became so easy to load.

Once the horse goes in the trailer and is relaxed… How do you know as soon as he starts moving, he won’t freak out and get hurt?

Seems like this makes a lot of work out of something simple. If the horse has done any kind of ground work and has been asked to move off pressure- both shoulders and hindquarters- you can teach them to self load without any of this drama. I typically start with presenting them to the horse trailer and tap them lightly on the shoulder with a dressage whip (whip is used as a cue to move) and when they take a step forward release and if you like you can offer a food reward. Keep tapping with the whip until they take a step and then release. My horse (unraced TB) used to take 45+ minutes to load in a trailer. Within 10 minutes of doing this he now self loads into the trailer within seconds.

Come to my barn and whip my horsey into shape!!! Im in FL. Lol.

As usual Ryan... Amazing job! Love your videos! I'm Sorry, I have to add, IF Dave was level 4 Parelli, he would've easily been able to sort this out himself. Unless we missed a lot of drama in this video, then it was a relatively simple process for a Parelli level four! So it's highly unlikely that old mate is actually level 4. This is why so many people are anti Parelli or "Natural horsemanship" in general. There are so many people out there who have watched a few videos or been to a few clinics and have decided that they're far more experienced and educated than they actually are. Worse still, they sometimes set themselves up as "trainers" and go around "training" horses using their half arsed methods and just making a total mess of things. That's when and why you get people saying that Parelli or natural horsemanship itself, doesn't work or that it ruined their horses etc. Not that I'm saying this is what Dave is doing, but people claiming accolades they're not entitled to, are a big part of the problem. This is also the reason the phrase "Natural horsemanship" has such negative connotations now. We all know it's not really "natural" it's just a buzz word. Natural would be not touching horses at all lol. But it's a phrase to explain a less brutal, more gentle and in tune with the horse, type of training. It's not new and even Pat Parelli will tell you that its not new and it wasn't invented by him or any one person in particular, he just coined the phrase, (I think??). That's why it's great that a lot of trainers these days just use the word "Horsemanship" and have removed the "natural" part. Horsemanship is just another name for horse handling and I think it's great. Anyhow, I'll get off my soap box now. This ended up being a LOT longer than expected, so I apologise. Lol

My yougest loves the trailer, she gets mad if she doesn't get to go and she the other horses going. When she does get to go she's so silly! She gets so excited. She'll practically drag you on the trailer. I do have to say she's never been on a ramp before but she has literally went up and down our wooden deck on her own, it wouldn't surprise me if I asked her or someone she got to trust she'd have no problem with it. When she was a foal I left it open and she played in it on her own. I didn't do anything special. Her mother loads fantastic so she had a great role model. I've had horses try and drag me away from trailers. Or just be so lazy they don't feel like riding home in the trailer they lean on the people encouraging from behind scooting them in. I have to say that particular horse hated ramps and the trailer we had at the time had a ramp. After I got the step up I never had a problem with him.

After seeing pros do this, watching this was difficult.

I'm not super against using negative reinforcement like you did, but I disagree with adding punishment when he crowds you. You instigate learned helplessness, for example he was scared to go over the ramp but he couldn't crowd you so it was obey or else, which causes stress and anxiety and then a horse that doesn't actually trust the trailer, but has accepted that it's obey or else. Does it work, yes, but I'd actually avoid the positive punishment aspect of this technique. We've used just the negative reinforcement aspect part of this demonstration and you can keep them below threshold and it always works without positive punishment. You could set it up like hunt the jump, where you gave them more space to avoid the ramp without crowding you and keep him going around until he chose the ramp and release the pressure and then advance it. I wouldnt set them up for something hard, that they can hardly do, and then punish when they don't feel comfortable on the ramp yet, but you've only left them room to crowd you.

I may be reading you wrong, but.. you would move further away to avoid crowding, giving the horse space to avoid the ramp, and avoid crowding. By you stepping out of the way, the horse is not having to work out that crowding is a bad idea, and at the same time, you may be too far away to give enough pressure to encourage going on the ramp. Not saying you cant, just saying i dont see anything wrong here. He did use pressure/release consistently.. so, that was not missing. I know this, a horse crowding a higher horse will be told off brutally if it fails to yeild to the first signal, a little waving with a flag, and a few taps, is not punishment for a horse ( when done at the right time, and not too much ofc).

@@Goldenhawk583 I know Ryan has most likely used the concept of "hunt the jump," It's a negative reinforcement strategy to help the horse FIND the object you want them to work out themselves. You don't tell the horse to get on the ramp, you give them room to decide to pick the ramp or not, when THEY choose the ramp you release the pressure(pressure=exercise circles around it) You can reach them because you are holding a stick. Scientifically anytime you add a reinforcement to get a behavior to stop you have added punishment, it is called positive punishment in science, it is what it is. Is it abusive, not necessarily, can it be yes, but it did in this demonstration, cause unneeded fear, stress and anxiety in the training. And you absolutely can avoid causing any outburst like the type he got by using that reinforcement. Horses doing that to each other doesn't mean WE have to use it to teach complex training ideas to them. If it can be done without it, which it can, I'd avoid it.

When you get to the point that you've created an intense reaction, hide the video until you get him on, and quietly trap him in trying not to set him off, you've really not done this horse service nor their owner. That horse wasn't ready and if he freaked out, which you seem so aptly ready for, this would've been a disaster and you've would've been liable. That trailer was way too small to train that thoroughbred to get on, much less actually transport him. Whacking a horse while he is in that heightened state of mind only makes it worse for him, which is why he freaked out when you tried bringing him in to the trailer before you cut the video. You can really screw up a horse this way and I've seen it happen. Its a quick fix but you've done some longer term damage that will need to be dealt with. You've also lost the trust of that horse. I thought you were a half way decent trainer but the more videos I watch, the more I see you unnecessarily add pressure and pain to an animal, the more I realize you are just taking short cuts. That isn't training. That's a one trick pony because it doesn't work every time and you cut video to make it look like it works. Dishonest and bad training. I hope you fix the path you're on.
