[@artemisXsidecross]

Steve Young’s self-humility and patience are an appreciated asset when gaining co-operation with a horse on the edge of fright and take flight. It may be an asset that may come from the human’s persona and not an easily learned from others. Steve Young’s ability to help the horse handler is a skill of its own merit. Artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence will hardly replace what we can do and learn with a horse. This may be one of best Steve Young videos I have seen.

[@agelesskelly9752]

This is my mare. Twice I have had to move her to a new barn and it took close to two hours to load her both times. I now have my own vehicle and will be starting training, slowly, at her pace while I have nowhere I have to be. She gets very claustrophobic and pulls back, even on crossties, and has banged her head on the trailer. But, I have hope. A few days ago, she put both feet on the ramp and stayed to sniff the side panels. Thankfully I have the luxury of time to take baby steps. Patience and perseverance and a lifetime of knowledge you have - Horse Master Steve!

[@lauraburns8306]

@@agelesskelly9752 Problem is, if you dont persist until you get it done - as Steve always does - you'll be rewarding her 100's of times for NOT going in, and she'll resist even more!

[@leturlupin1437]

C'est parce qu'il fait sombre dans le van que le cheval ne veut pas monter, il faut ouvrir la porte sur le côté pour donner de la luminosité, puis on passe une longe derrière le cheval pour éviter qu'il recule et évidemment il faut le mettre en confiance et le récompenser et au bout un filet avec du foin ça peut encourager. Surtout prendre son temps. Pour la tête il y a des protections ainsi que pour les jambes.

[@KamiM1111]

God love Tanya for braving the weather to get the video. Great job with the trailer progress!!!! I wonder why when the horse started to back up Steve gave him cues and pulled on the lead to back him up????? But overall I learned more especially Steve’s unwavering patience. 🐴 ❤🐴❤️🐴❤️🐴❤️

[@Bobbin_Hoode]

So the horse would come to understand that backing away just results in more work. This is quite edited so I would imagine the backing up was becoming an avoidance rather than a necessary reflexive movement from overwhelm or fear. You'll see he allows the horses to move their feet when they are frightened, but when they think they've solved a problem by backing up he will calmly continue to back them up until they ask to stop thanks, that's rubbish after all...

[@KamiM1111]

@@Bobbin_Hoode Thank you 🙏🏻, that does makes sense. Making it more work so they understand that backing up does not solve the problem. Walking forward and ultimately walking on the trailer solves it. 👍🏻👊🏼 Steve is so amazing and quick ( that 3 second rule) I almost missed it. But I picked it up and was so curious why he would do it to a horse already backing. Your answer makes sense. Especially following Steve’s teachings, he teaches us humans what we need to do for what’s best for the horse. 🐴

[@Davidm1056]

After watching hours of your videos (over several years) there is one thing that seems to be true, most owners are worthless when it comes to training and controlling their horses. Much like dogs and dog owners, it is the owner who creates the overwhelming majority of the problems. It's shocking actually that these massive animals have no one in charge. All the more reason why you are such a valuable resource. Good job.

[@barbarabrown9269]

This is what we always do. 60 years experience here. We just get one quiet person to stand with the lead in hand and keep the horse’s head still facing the trailer. Never let him get his head turned sideways. Just stand there for however long. Quietly. Have another person behind him with a long buggy whip. Tap or whip generally his rear FETLOCKS. Never change position. Hold the head straight, tap the fetlocks. Keep doing that until he steps into the van. Easy peasy. The next time you never have a problem loading. Never get upset, never whip anywhere except the fetlocks. Never give him a rest or break in the tension. Never reward with treats.

[@debbiewhite8981]

We done Steve and Tanya

[@OnceUponaTimeline]

Luckily that horse was confident and sure about his footing. Even when he stepped off the side too deep with his back foot, he didn't panic about that part and just assessed and adjusted nicely. A lot of horses once in that fear mode would be much more spooked about a sudden case of unexpected footing problems stacked on top.

I've wondered if anyone has tried to load a difficult horse by backing into the trailer. I've also wondered about using an open sided, no roof livestock trailer to let the horse practice, before having to head into a scary enclosed trailer.

[@maxpuppy96]

Just a suggestion, I hauled horses for a living, sometimes if you park your trailer close to a wall or a fence the horse gets a feeling of security it may help it may not. I know what you go through the more they get hauled the less problems, they get used to it and will load themselves. We would load 10 horses in a semi trailer. 2 in the peak 4 on the belly and 4 in the back.

[@jobee9113]

It seems a very small box for quite a large horse. I can understand the fear.

[@robertteap8052]

Ever think of doing it the right way... Use a loading bay if one is available, if not, park the box close to a wall on one side, with some kind of a "blind", a large horse rug for example, on the other... Then try leading the horse in, not dragging on the lead reins..

[@RuebenBrylie]

This is my trouble, my older horse and my rescue will get on but constantly reverse out will not settle inside the float. My 18month old and 2 year old love the float, they get in and just relax right away. Struggling to fix it. As soon as the rescue sees someone behind her to do the door up she reverses out. Struggling to get them to relax in there.

[@Dandelion49]

First you don't face a horse when leading or trying to load. second get a long 35' cotton rope ( I undo the rope and re-braid it flat, don't get rope burns that way) securely attach to the halter, run through the metal loop in the front of the trailer or just run it through the front window, bring around the side of the trailer and around the back end of the horse, you now have leverage and can gradually pull the horse in. Pull until he refuses then stop, put the rope around your butt and hold with your right or left hand depending on which side you are trying to load him in. Lean a little on the rope around your back end. Let him just sit there against the rope. Don't pull until he gives a little, talk to him and try to calm him. As he moves forward pull up the slack and keep steady pressure. He may throw his head and try to pull back just keep the pressure steady. Stay calm, don't fight him just don't give in. He will eventually move forward again and may try to rear, etc. just let him act out. eventually he will get close enough for two people to hold hands behind his butt and lift/push him forward. I had up to 45 head of horses at one time and trained, rode and raised horses for most of my life. Never had a horse I could not load using this method. Never hit them or scared them into loading. But it is much easier if you start working with them way before you "have " to load them. You might try rewarding them with a handful of grain as they move forward. Have grain in the feed bin of the trailer before traying to load, try encourage them with grain when you first start.

[@MrJustoverissimo]

TALK to the Horse ❤️ Take it for a walk on a leash... for few minutes....before loading...RELAX

[@constancesmith8881]

Maybe it’s the view, but all I could think was “that’s a really small trailer and a really big horse!” As soon as the video came on. Is it as small as it looks? Or is it the angle? 😮

[@karenfennema198]

Thanks for skipping to the good part...

[@dark-shadow_]

What would you suggest for a horse that doesn't react to anything at all and still avoids the trailer at all cost? We've literally tried everything possible but the horse just stands still and doesn't react to anything. And IF he manage to set one foot on the ramp, he simply turns his butt and you CAN NOT move him an inch anymore. I think this horse truly mastered and succeeded avoiding the trailer😂
