How I Load And Haul Horses

This is how I load and tie my horses. I have a 3 horse LQ trailer. the first stall is a stud stall which has a divider running all the way to the floor. That stud stall usually is filled with feed, hay and supplies for my trips so I generally use only the rear two stalls. If i was loading in a straight load 2 horse id send them in, close the door and then tie IF needed from the windows. I would just about never walk into a two horse straight load unless I for sure have an escape route handy.

I really appreciate your video and totally agree you on so many points -- not hard tying a horse in a trailer, using whatever halter you want 😂, sending the horse in (not leading him in), tying thru a window rather than going into the stall. But I think that for much of the time you are physically in the trailer in this video (ex @1:30), you are in a pretty vulnerable position -- JMO. If that grey horse panicked over something and tried to back out, it would happen fast and you'd get slammed into the divider and could get stepped on. Obviously whatever mishap you experienced trailering, it wasn't that scenario. 🙂 I have to say I don't understand why anyone would design a trailer that doesn't open all the way across the back. Maybe the tack area is hinged on the left and can rotate out of the way so the back is fully open. But I would never set foot in a trailer like that 😂. Another trainer I like a lot (Ryan Rose) has the same setup. I don't get it. But I like your attitude and will check out over videos. Thanks so much.

Oh sure that’s what makes loading so dynamic and not every fix fits all. It’s ever changing and fluid. I’ve had horses where I load them anyway I can then shut the door and figure the rest out as we go. It takes a lot of trust and time for me to get in with them. There is not a perfect trailer that I’ve seen but I guess the best and safest for kinda all situations would be a stock trailer with a slam gate divider. Load em up and close the slam gate. Like every thing do what’s best for you and your horses in the situation you’re in and stay as safe as you can. Thanks for watching and commenting.
