He Won't STAY In The TRAILER!

Can I join without having a horse? I love watching these videos.

I love that she showed the 2 weeks later and is doing so well!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Me too

[@Kwpn.Mayline]

My horse wont stay in the trailer, so i was looking and came across this video. I must say, this is great. No hard pressure, no hitting, just giving a consequence to an action. That is amazing! I will try this with my mare!

[@jrbrumley9334]

As usual, it isn't a horse problem but a people problem. She improved once being told or shown what to do. Good job!

[@Macedmama617]

All I can say is OMG !! Long story short, our horse was the same exact way! Other people had tried to get him in the trailer by force, which I didn't like, but I'm a rookie to horse ownership. I have been watching a ton of videos on learning how to become partners with our horses. TODAY !! I watched this video went out and worked with our Pablo about 40 min like Ryan said, after working him on the ground for a about 30 minutes...and shazam in the trailer he went!! I'm so excited !! I wish I would've done a video !! We've had him for about 5 months and never had him in the trailer. We got him from the neighbors so only had to walk him down the road. Thank you Ryan !! I appreciate all your videos and help for this rookie!

[@nadjadebruin6227]

I have helped a lot of people load their horses with Ryan's technique. It works like a charm every time! You have to tailor it to the specific horse a bit and figure out what the main issue is (fear of the trailer because of a bad experience, horse has never been on a trailer, horse has developed some bad habits), and you always have to observe the horse closely (what is it communicating) and this method has never failed me! Thanks, Ryan, for giving a little window into the minds of horses and helping people overcome obstacles and enjoying their time spent with their horse.

[@josephlwallssr6166]

Great job! A good learning situation! Amazing! So difficult but yet, so easy!

[@elainejreed9365]

I don’t think that horse respects her at all. I wonder how he is with her out on trail alone. That’s always a good test.

[@jillgross6232]

This has nothing to do with a respect issue. It's a timing issue. As we age we slow down. I know, I live it every day. With horses timing is very important!

[@jackiehawecker11]

It is nice to see a straight load trailer being used for this. So many times it is slant load or stock trailers being used. Great video! Very helpful!

[@elainejreed9365]

Very nice and roomy trailer for him.

[@donnac.1609]

Very nice horse! He is a little pushy when just handling...sure seems to have some go to him. So glad you were able to diagnose the issues and Judy seemed to get it! A real talent to be able to get to the heart of a problem and give direction to correct and move on.

[@elainejreed9365]

He’s got her number. 😉

[@alquarius86]

It takes time and patience, this video makes sense to me. ❤

[@JuanitaThompson-cm5tq]

Learning how to effectively use the “stick and string” is the difference between training a horse and being trained by a horse. Thank you for your informative teaching videos Sir.

[@TPWK216]

I like the fact that you want to make the horse stay in there and feel comftorble on his own instead of work is done "less close the doors".

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Right thing easy, wrong thing hard.

[@nataschamccurley1252]

The more videos I watch of Ryan the more I appreciate him. English is my second language and there are so many horsemanship trainers who try to teach you what to do and it all sounds great and they as the trainer make it look easy but Ryan points out in a very non offensive way, that sometimes it's just practice. Handling the rope around the pole inside the trailer for example, the horse actually having a bigger problem with pressure rather then loading. He makes it very easy to understand, communication is key not just between horse and handler but also between handler and trainer. I very much appreciate him and his videos to make me a better horse women without having to pay a fortune that may or may not help my issues.

[@faisalsani1170]

This horses only issue is that he has learnt to ignore his owner

[@jamesethan3749]

Exactly. She is too small/weak/soft with him. He knows who the boss is.

[@melanies.6030]

@@jamesethan3749 But she, too, is a work in progress, and at the end I saw improvement in both her AND the horse. I think she'll get it. Especially if she practices and keeps learning from Ryan. Also, I bet she's more assertive when not in front of the camera, at home.

[@flowerbunny3225]

This is exactly where my horse is. He will walk in but won't stay in. He has traveled a couple of times an was quite stressed in travel. He is highly suspicious of being locked in. I have started working woth this method, pattern. I have signed up to your patron page. I will send in my video😅

Always a great day when we get an upload from you!😊

[@makenziekelly6429]

It's crazy seeing how he learned so fast whe. It was someone who knew what they're doing. When the lady tried he was like wtf you want me to do lady cause she didn't know the correct technique he was waiting for her to signal. So cool.

[@SavvyDebonair]

The horse new all along how to do it. He has just been taught the wrong things along the way on top of it. A knowledgeable handler will be able to convey to the horse the message and the horse will remember exactly how to do it. Inexperienced handlers add confusion with indirect messages aswell

[@rideontarget]

Part of this horse's issue is handler made. First thing she does is turn and look at the horse when she gets in trailer. That's like asking horse what it thinks yall should do. Plus many folks turn and face horse's when backing. It's giving mixed signals. The rest of the solution Ryan offered was great. Pressure vs relief.

[@hazelsmith1716]

I've seen horses that don't want to load, because they've been slammed around in a trailer by crazy drivers!!

[@emmawillard1832]

The truth! One trip in a trailer with a nut at the wheel and most will never load in a trailer again.

[@MrBillmedhurst]

Judy showed much pride when she smiled at the very end of the video.

[@janmeyer3129]

Had a horse who presented the opposite problem - at shows he would untie himself and go and raid all the other trailers. Hard to find him sometimes

It’s interesting that it was not the trailer the issue.

[@lindseyjohnson5337]

I really appreciated this one! I have a horse that does the EXACT same thing, and I thought it was straight load claustrophobia. Now, I really think it's just not understanding to give to the feel and that he's learned to lean. Needless to say, he will be going to boot camp lol!

we all need ballet classes for improved coordination. great job!

[@jessicagray3648]

This guy looks like a complete angel compared to my swamp donkey 😒 I’ve had him 10 years, and there hasn’t been a single time where it’s taken any less than 45 mins to load. If I have to leave by 11 am, I know I have to start loading by 9. It’s become quite ridiculous. I think I have decent feel and timing when it comes to pressure and release. I’ve even trailer trained other horses in my area. I just can’t win with mine. If you’re ever in Maryland, I’ll pay you to come by or I’ll come meet you somewhere!

[@jarjar0653]

Awesome Judy!!!🎉

[@jillgross6232]

Cool beans! She looked great two weeks later. It's hard for use older gals when it's just us and nobody else around! I know I do it often, 😃!

[@sseeback6754]

Had a straight load where mine just busted out every time. He never, ever got comfortableloading in an enclosed straight load..finally had to get a stock trailer, and voila, he will load easier and seems more comfortable now in the open stock trailer.

[@emmawillard1832]

A great many horses cannot travel comfortably with their legs aligned. They must spread their hind legs apart for balance. Put them into a straight load where they cannot do that and they will either not load, having learned that they are not comfortable from earlier experience, or they will scramble and panic when moving. After a trip like that they will not load. Straight load trailers, especially those with a solid center upright, are too narrow for horses.

[@SherrylPurvis-ig9be]

Dang you are good with him!

[@mariem4614]

I am also having trailer loading issues with my 4 year old that I got 4 months ago. I can't wait to use your technique and hopefully nip this in the bud.

Thank you! I like the view from the camera in the trailer too... sure helps with the perspective!

[@abbykoop5363]

No one else was taught that it's super unsafe to haul a single horse on that side??

[@nadjadebruin6227]

I think it's only for this training, because we are right handed. You are right though, for those who don't know: for countries where you drive on the right hand side of the road, you should always load the horse on the left side, or in the case of two horses, the heaviest one on the left. Loading in the right side may cause your trailer to topple when swerving into the verge of the road.

[@Apb23]

I liked how you explained the prey (horses) know we are the predator and that means trap … very good way for me to understand as I train!

[@ginnychibbaor4578]

Ryan I just love your training techniques. I have had to work with many horses that scramble once on the trailers, and I have observed people driving small trailers not considering their horses at all The worst being a young filly so off balance she climbed over the front bar and lost an eye. I think it would be wonderful if you could review pulling a trailer correctly. Thank you for all you do.

[@Solamia7]

I think the people should be put in the trailer and someone drives it the way they do. That would be an eye opening experience for them.

[@marylynnblack9258]

When I first got a trailer , a wise horseman told me to drive like I have a carton of raw eggs in the back. I remember that and am careful when I trailer my horse.

[@farmlivin3418]

I love this video! I have a 5 yo gelding that is a perfect example of leaning back on too much pressure. If you put too much pressure he will just sit on it. And can definitely win that battle. I need to get better on my "feel" and slowing down. Also need a stick and string. Just had this gelding to refuse to get back on the trailer after an off the farm riding event. Was terrible. A trainer was there, got him on in 2 minutes. Definitely proof the humans need the training!

[@devilmecare]

I don't understand the title. Watched an Episode of Heartland. The horse was fine when they opened the front door. The horse was afraid of being enclosed. Once the horse felt safe he would load with no problem.

[@danlindeke2561]

I don't understand the rope halter vs regular nylon. Is there a pressure on nose or top of head with rope?

[@marylynnblack9258]

It is MUCH more effective. Horses know the difference.

[@beckstewart8271]

Lighter, they get much better feel from it. Knot thing isn't what they're about. You get exactly the same benefits from a spliced rope halter. Of course, the handler on the other end sending the right feel matters.

[@Georgie1660]

Too many people buy horses before learning to be a confident leader. With the horse! It’s a people problem, not a horse problem, 9 x’s out of 10 is my guess!

[@jamesethan3749]

This poor lady just needs a smaller horse. She is way too small and weak to handle this guy. 😅

[@Solamia7]

😂

[@nadjadebruin6227]

Well as a human you're too small and weak to handle even a small pony. They outweigh and outmuscle us easily, even Shetland ponies. You can only lead a horse when it lets you. That's why we've invented studchains that go over the gums of the teeth in extreme cases. If a horse doesn't want to follow the feel of the halter, it won't, and it can easily drag you. Even the little ones. The size of the horse doesn't matter. They are all so much stronger than us. That's why good training is so, so very important

[@murphykelley3906]

Good video except I noticed right off that she was trying to load him with her in his space....you never mentioned that but you also never tried to load him while standing in his trailer space...you loaded using the other side. To me that was her first mistake for her safety.

[@horseman9582]

I do lots of horse loading lessons in Sydney Australia. Similar principles, if the horse decides to come out I bring him all the way out and put some sweat and puff on him. If I ask him to come out we get all four feet off and relax.

[@danfields3341]

As most clinicians say, it's more about the human training... anytime I hear humans talk to their horse's like a 1.5 snauzer, it's a red flag...

[@emmab4323]

The longer I am in the horse world, the more I realize there are a lot of emotionally distressed people who are not doing horses any favours. It is almost like they think "horse therapy" will help them. What about the poor horse, go to a therapist for your emotional issues, and then learn how to treat this horse properly. As soon as is owner is near him he freaks out, I see this at my barn all the time. You are causing him stress.
