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

Me too

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@allisonhair7344]

This method got my horse back into a trailer faster and with less stress than anything else I've tried or watched.

[@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!

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

[@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.

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

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

[@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!

[@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".

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@NancyBaileyauthor]

[@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.

[@archangel807]

Owner acts angry....horse senses it....

[@joyorr1419]

Please come work to Michigan to work with my horse 😭😭😭

[@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.

[@kimberwoodson9714]

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.

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

[@Hetpust]

👍💯

[@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.

[@ginnychibbaor4578]

Just me but I don't like the center poll in trailer.

That's way too much horse for her, he has no respect for her, soon as she gets him home, he'll do the same thing.

[@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.

[@TheAxiolamer]

Horses are not toys, if you dont have the phisical skill to handle them you should just stop

[@elainejreed9365]

Why is he being loaded on the wrong side? And what the heck would she do if he jumped on and rushed to the front of the trailer? That’s dangerous having him jump in right on top of you.

[@Seleuce]

Wrong side? No wrong side. Right side is commonly the side used when loading a single horse in a double trailer in countries with right sided traffic.

[@lottiestanley7696]

@@Seleuce Actually, because roads are ‘crowned’ (curved, with the center of the road being the highest point for drainage), in a two horse straight trailer the horse is normally loaded on the left side. In places where you drive on the right. The weight of one horse on the right side pulls the trailer more to the right. Even on a wide freeway with a center divider, the roadway slopes to the right for drainage, and the horse should be on the left to reduce the weight on the right side of the trailer. It’s easier to train a horse to the right side because we normally lead from their left. But, once you have them trained to the right side, you should train to the left side as well. Some horses will start scrambling when on the right side, especially when they’re trailered alone. I’ve always loaded horses on the left when trailering one horse alone.

[@casdragon_5939]

@@lottiestanley7696 maybe where you live, but unless I'm on a huge highway our roads aren't crowned at all. I've used both sides with a single horse and none of them care one way or the other.

[@nadjadebruin6227]

​​@@casdragon_5939 she's still right though. If you have to swerve to avoid something like oncoming traffic and have your right wheels in the verge of the road, the weight of the horse can make it topple. It's dangerous loading a horse on the right side when trailering them alone. If you trailer two horses, make sure to load the heaviest one on the left.

[@emmawillard1832]

What's the point of backing him up as an intended punishment? He already knows how to back up when uncomfortable! Punishing him with a whip to make him back up because that's unpleasant CONFIRMS in his mind what he already does voluntarily. Pretty soon he will back up in a very great hurry to avoid getting punished: that's what being punished to force him to back up teaches him! And he will not be disorientated by a being chased in a small circle before being headed to the trailer again.

[@meganleigh14]

There's no 'punishment' all he did was encourage the horse to change his way of thinking. His discomfort was the trailer and he has learned that backing up relieved that discomfort. So now asking him to back up is that uncomfortable pressure and when asked to approach and load onto the trailer he that's when he can find relief.

[@pamelaforrest1622]

Not going to waste 19 minutes watching a horse that won't stay in the trailer. Just guessing he has experienced a really horrible experience loading in a trailer. Haul him in a trailer that is less claustrophobic or don't haul him at all.

[@ricksherman34]

My horse had the same issue. They naturally don't like to go into tight spaces. You have to make the trailer seem like a better option than being worked outside the trailer. Now she loads like an angel. There is also some respect component. So if the horse doesn't respect you with ground work that can also work against you.
