Teaching A Scared Horse To Load In A Trailer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2022
- In this video I have a mare that has to go to the vet in 24 hours but has only ever loaded in a trailer one other time, and it was a bad experience for her. So I teach her to load in the trailer without being afraid.

Really astonishing how you did this in 30 minutes. No fear, no craziness. just patience and training. Once again, I learned a lot!
Your techniques and patience yielded great results!! Wonderful job!
You’re an amazing horse trainer and I know this bc my nieces trained, showed and bred horses and I could watch them all day long just as I binge watch your videos!! You’re patient and absolutely love your horses and I enjoy your channel immensely ❤❤❤
I really enjoyed watching how with patience even a very nervous horse can be encouraged to get over her fear. Well done and God bless you all. X
Great Job!!!!🎉🎉. You are so great with 🐴🐴🐎🐎!!
Great job. She did it. Alot of people can learn, from you.
God bless.
She sure gave you challenges. Patience is a big part of life. Great outcome
You did an amazing job getting her to load, I could tell she really didn't want to go in. When we are asking a horse to move forward, We point and say walk on, and then when we want to trot, we round the R and say trrrot on, then canter we say and canter, then usually on the and the horse knows what's coming next, and they canter.This way the horse is clear of what you want them to do.
You and your lovely family do a really great job with the horses, and I watch you all the time and and you have a beautiful family. 😊❤
Amazing work 🇺🇸🌹❤️
Great video. Taking your techniques to help my mare load better, Thanks
It wasn't her fault no one had taught her to load or unload in a trailer. If people would do this at the very beginning, when they're young....it's a piece of cake. Sioux was terrified of getting in your trailer, and actually yours is big and open. I trained all my "babies" in a 2sided straight load. THAT was tricky sometimes. I trailered one filly at 10 days old to a show, of course her Mama came too, and that was a 3 stall slant. But anyway, I think you did AWESOME with Souix 🐴😃. It just takes patience, and making sure the horse understands your cue's. And after a lot of repetition, she got it. Now she will forever just hop on in. Great job JR!! Blessings always ❤️🙌 Jennifer
Boy o boy , I needed to watch this !! Great tips ( once again 😃) thx JR & Homestead Horsemanship 🐴👍
What patience! It pays off! 👍
Good job working with the horse
She did it 👏👏👏 👍🤘
I'm glad you clarified that the method you used for her was the best way you thought to train her and not the only method you have in your book of tricks. Well done.
Amazing work
What a great horse!! She was so scared, and you allowed her to be scared while encouraging her to beat the fearr!! I love your training skills.
I'm so proud of her!
Another great job. Amazing at how quick you get these horses trained.
That was awesome! I love your methods and gentleness.
Thanks so much!
JR, you're so good with your horses! Kind, consistent & loving.
I enjoy teaching trailer loading. I worked with one that wouldn't trailer for 16 years. I find it has nothing to do with the trailer. It's all about trust. They trust you enough to go wherever you ask. There just happens to be a trailer there. One of my own went from a "nervous Nelly" to no problem without ever going near a trailer. I have videos of both.
Your dad sent me over, and I'm happy to be here! You have beautiful horses! My father kept horses for many years, in Waddell Arizona. He had a particularly ornery Appaloosa that liked to flip the bit, if he could get away with it. He would take off at lightning speed, and I had to do the old quick stop routine by pulling one of the reins hard to turn his head, more than once. We would then have a "little talk" about how good horsemanship goes both ways!
Thanks for coming over!😊
I love your patience with training. She did great 👍! 😊
Very nice ♥️
I enjoyed watching how you train horses unfortunately I love horses one of my favorite animal❤.
Good job ! Im reminded of one of my children I should have named HER patience........
🤣🤣🤣
Very good job.
You are amazing! Animals just need patience and persistence. 23:55
Excellent. Easy does it 😅
Love y'all! ... (The tribe is Sioux, lol)
Might be a good idea to chek : Shelby Dennis - Teaching your horse to self-load in the t !railer !
This one 15 minute lesson and she loads every time with no problem now
Hello from British Columbia Canada
🇨🇦👋👍♥️🌲🌲🧘♀️🌲🌲🎨🖌☕☕☕☕☕
Wow, even the grain didn't entice her. Mine were all grain babies. They would have gone right in.
Takes a lot of repetition and patience to school / train any animal. I wonder if pressure/release works as well on dogs!
ozarks foal was so cute i just saw the birth video runaround foal i dont know what becca named her just thought id comment
So I’m newer to the channel, and so far the way I’ve decided to consume the content on your channel is to go horse by horse. I came here because of Oliver and since that’s how I watched him, I thought it would be fun to go horse by horse and really get a feel of each one.
All that to say, I’m coming to this video after just watching Souix’s homecoming video, titled:
“Bringing A New Horse Home- DO WE KEEP HER?“
Suffice to say, what you’ve said so far in this current video about how Souix is one of the most difficult horses you’ve ever trailered etc (I’m only 35 second in) has me thoroughly baffled (and slightly triggered to be honest) because in the Souix debut vid, on screen @ 2:10 it shows her being led towards the trailer with a caption that reads “.…she led and loaded without any issues.”
Ummmm…. WHAT??
Furthermore, when we’re shown the clip in the homecoming vid of JR unloading Souix back home at the farm, he mentions absolutely NOTHING about the apparently extreme difficulty he had getting her loaded up just a short time ago. No mention of her being scared or hesitant, not even a hint that he’d struggled w/loading her. Nothing to remotely suggest that according to what he’s saying NOW, he’d just dealt with “one of the worst horses I’ve ever seen about getting in a trailer.” 😑 He discusses other things and we see Souix being offloaded without issue. Yes, she stands at the back of the trailer for a moment, looking around her new environment, but the most that can be said after observing her offload is that MAYBE she’s a bit nervous/cautious and the slight stumble on exit shows she’s not experienced w/the trailer, but she certainly doesn’t act like a horse that’s terrified of the trailer.
As I said, I’m actually only 35 seconds in to watching THIS video, so maybe I’ll find some clarification therein, but at this point I’m just hoping you’re not trying to fool people through dishonesty 😥.
Hi. That was actually just a mistake I made in that first video of Sioux. Basically messed up lol I was new to making videos and didn’t catch it. I wasn’t there when they loaded Sioux and did not know she had caused issues and thought she had loaded fine. I made that video and loaded without asking Jr about it. Just beginner mistakes of creating a video, not making sure the story was correct. We have learned a lot sense then about making videos and try to be as accurate as possible. I’m sure it’s not the only mess up you will find though!!!😬
I’ll try to add this to the description of the video explaining that I explained wrong.
Hope this helps.
Please watch Steve Young Horsemanship. Learn from him. Stop hitting her-all wrong. Watch him smoothly get a horse into a trailer.
WashingtonDC, 4:20am, 3/25/23
Steve also uses the tapping method but calls it ‘boinging’ & taps in a different place
You should check STEVE YOUNG videos !
Try letting her see another horse do it first or follow another horse in.
She has.
The previous owner spelled it wrong
Look in to why she is afraid to load on the horse float as the way she is behaving it looks like she had gotten hurt in a horse float when she was just a foal as I had a gelding that was behaving the same way and the way you are training her to load is the same way he was loaded and he was unbroken two years old and I found out that when he was just three days old the sold him and his mother and the foal and six others was floated in the same float and the foal was hurt
Horse float? No, she just had not been loaded except 1 other time in her life. She is just afraid.
Sioux ….you spelled it incorrectly 😊
not a nervous horse, not her first time and not a happy nor healthy mare with a puppet on the other end of the line trying to pantomime what he has seen others do.
The puppet taught the horse to not fear the trailer and she now goes in with no issues.
This horse was never taught to lead correctly from the beginning, and this method did nothing to correct that deficiency.
I will post once again the same method I have posted on this site about leading and loading.
Here is how it is done CORRECTLY; I did this professionally for over 45 years, and it has NEVER failed me.
Teaching a horseman to lead & load a horse onto a trailer.
First of all, this technique uses none of the following.
Fear
Pain
Whips
Loud noises
Treats
Force
Feed
Chains
Butt ropes
Fences
Round pens
Gate panels
Clucking, clicking, smooching, or other vocalizations you typically use with your horse.
Gimmicks, gizmos, rakes, brooms, pitchforks, apple pickers, or other nonessential devices.
There are a couple of things that all too often create problems, and they are more often than not with the one leading the horse.
These are never do’s;
(Never face your horse and walk backward) and expect them to follow you anywhere. When they are foals being taught to lead, the first thing we teach is when I face you, that means STOP, and when I put my hand on you, that means standstill. (NEVER do either of these things) when trying to load a horse onto a trailer or when just leading a horse for that matter. Those are conflicting signals in their mind.
This method only requires two people, ONE person leading the horse and the other, to stay out of the way and offer no help other than to close the door, ramp, or whatever closes the trailer.
It will work on any horseman and with any style of trailer and with any horse, young, old, sour, stubborn, or otherwise reluctant to get on a trailer.
If you notice, (I do not say teach the horse to load); I did say teach the (horseman) to load the horse. Horses, all horses, already know how to load onto a trailer if they have ever been into a stall. Because it is nothing more than a doorway. Some stalls are dark, some are lite, some require a step up to enter some require a step down to enter.
The trailer is just a stall with wheels.
Before I go any further, there is something that is critically important for every horseman to learn, and that is the CORRECT way to lead a horse. And no, I do not mean walking along with the horse, just meandering 4 or 5 feet behind on a slack lead line eating grass whenever they want. You must be engaged with your horse when leading. You must become the alpha in your little herd of two. You decide where to go and when. Not the horse.
Another very important fact that must be learned is that the lead rope/shank, whatever you use, is NOT a TOW ROPE. The horse must be taught to lead willingly and respond to the slightest tension on the lead by stepping into the tension and thus receiving slack instantly. The lead should be snapped into the bottom ring of the halter, with no chain over the nose or other form of pain inducement on the head.
Now, this is where it is critically important to know why a horse would come to you when they feel tension on the lead. They don’t like tension in the lead. It’s uncomfortable, so if they learn that by stepping forward into the lead, the tension is released, then they realize that this works.
Another key to teaching this leading method is NEVER lead a horse with an extended arm. Your arm then becomes like a spring, and when you apply tension, and the horse responds with a step forward, you cannot physically respond quickly enough with an extended arm to give them the release feedback that they need to understand that by stepping forward, they instantly get that slack relief.
So how do we do this, you might ask?
Well, we give the horse enough free lead line so they are comfortable and don’t feel restrained, usually about two feet of slack lead so their head can move freely. Then you take a firm hold of the lead line and tuck your arm into your body and lock your hand holding the lead onto your body somewhere comfortable for you. I use the center of my chest with the lead draped over the bend in my right arm; you can use your hip or some other spot where you will not allow the lead to slip or give slack at all when you move.
Now with your hand and the lead locked on your body with your right shoulder next to the horse’s head, take a step forward (do not look at the horse), and look straight ahead in the direction you intend to go. And take the slack out of the lead by stepping forward. As soon as the lead is tight, stop and maintain a slight tension on the lead by leaning forward a little, if need be, but do not move; you become a post. Now the horse has a choice it can stand there with tension on its head, or it can step forward. All horses will step forward in short order. When they do that, do NOT move. Let them come to you to get slack. When they do, gently give them a little attaboy/girl and a gentle rub on the forehead. Then repeat the process, slowly and methodically, until they fully understand that any time they feel that slight tension on the lead, they will step forward alongside you.
Do this for a while until you both are bored and you know that you both have it down pat. The key is that every time you put even the slightest tension on the lead, they instantly step forward to get a release by giving themselves the slack. These actions and rewards, if done properly, are instantaneous and require no action on your part other than to provide the tension for the next step.
Now move to the open trailer, and this is where you need someone around but preferably out of sight and willing to keep their mouth shut and not help until asked to close the door.
Same procedure, lead attached to the bottom ring of the halter and small steps toward the trailer until the horse willingly gets on the trailer.
Now a word of caution here. There is a point where you, as the leader, will be overcome with the need to rush. That is when the horse has reached the threshold of the trailer entry and is progressing nicely. DO NOT RUSH. If anything, at this point, stop and stand there and let them know this is no big deal. More importantly, let yourself know this is not the time to rush. If you’ve trained them to lead properly from tension, a step forward gains their release, then they will walk to the very front of the trailer with you by their head. If this is a first for the horse or if the horse has been traumatized in the past, DO NOT TIE them at this point; just stand there and make them feel comfortable, not patting, just gentle rubbing of their face and neck. Then when you are ready, and they have fully settled, slowly back them off the trailer and walk them around for a bit, and do it all over again and again and again until you both are entirely bored with this activity.
The most important thing to remember is your leading technique. Whenever you are in a horse's presence, you are teaching them. It’s up to you whether you teach them good things or bad things.
Having said all of that, I am sure you are skeptical; everyone that I have demonstrated this for usually is.
I can tell you honestly that in over 45 years as a professional horseman, I have never met a horse that I could not put on a trailer, alone with no fighting or other unpleasantness. That includes big international horse transports down to 1-horse bumper pulls, step-ups, ramps, side loads, and slant loads. In places where you would not believe a horse would get on a trailer, like a grocery store parking lots and even once on the street at 5th Avenue and E 59th St in Manhattan, NY.
An important caveat: I did NOT invent this technique. It was taught to me by a very old Bedouin Master of the Horse when I was very young. I learned so much from this man, but this was the most important thing he EVER taught me.
And I share it FREELY for the well-being of the horse and the handler.
I suggest you set aside for a little while whatever you have learned in the past and give this a try. You will be rewarded with 100% success.
An old-time horseman now retired.
Was an excellent recommendation. And it was very well presented. I enjoyed it very much. And I feel that it is absolutely a better way.
@@lynneley1883 Thank you so much for your very kind reply. It’s always lovely to hear from those who understand or are willing to listen to an old-timer. I did this for 45 + years as a professional and, in that time, loaded hundreds, perhaps thousands, of horses of every type, and my method NEVER failed to provide me with positive, repeatable results. However, these UA-cam presenters often discount my suggestions as negative instead of positive criticism.
When one does this sort of thing for a living for many years, it is literally automatic to find the course of least resistance and use it. As well as teach it to others. Both humans and animal benefit from this approach.
Thank you so much, sir - this is a beautiful description of how to lead and trailer properly!! I greatly appreciate you sharing this... it made watching this video worthwhile just to find your comment.
I have been working with my Quarter Horse, he got a sour taste for my trailer when I bought him and he was forced to load... my poor Pardner hates being tied and feeling trapped in there, he'll get so fearful if anyone is even near the doors. I've had nothing but trouble getting him loaded for a year and a half, he's a spicy sorrel, and the kind of horse who'll give you an argument if you go looking for one!😆
Now my little girl is about to start showing him... Pardner loves his girl and he's so good when she rides him, but he's got to trailer.
I worked and worked with him pretty much like you described, so calm and gentle and reassuring, except that I do turn to face him when he's all the way in to give him praise. I got him to load and stand no problem many times, he was doing great... so relaxed and easygoing! But then the first time I tried to secure his lead rope, he freaked. I saw the fear in his eyes, and he got right back to that stubborn fearful behavior he used to do, jerking his head up and pulling back. I just stayed calm and gently pulled his head back to me and put my forehead on his like I do, just loving on him, and got him settled down again. He's just so scared! I'm going to try your method tomorrow and see how he does!
Since you obviously have SO MUCH to say on the topic, maybe you should stop posting here and start your own You Tube channel.

Actually, that has been suggested, but seriously not sarcastically, by a number of people. I am seriously considering it since so much nonsense on this subject is all over UA-cam, and many of the channel operators do not have even 1/2 of the experience on this subject that I do. And if anyone questions them or offers a differing view the blowback is relentless and vicious in some cases.
So, you tell me which sounds better to you? Using all sorts of gimmickry and special equipment to perform the simple task of walking a horse into a trailer, or what I propose and can and have proven to many in my career. Including in front of the famous (or it could be said INFAMOUS) Monty Roberts with his so-called Dually Halter which has made him a small fortune and is completely worthless.
Here's a little short but true story for you to think about.
I was running Monty's breeding department at Flag is Up Farm in Solvang, California, when this little incident happened. He was putting on one of his famous horsemanship clinics in the round pen outside the breeding barn and using his trademarked Dually halter and we not having any success loading a two-year-old thoroughbred into a four-horse slant load trailer. I was not busy at the time so I was watching. He noticed me watching and seemed a little chagrinned that I was even there. So he asked me if I thought I could do better than he at this task. I replied that I would be willing to try on one condition. I said please take that halter thing off the horse and put an ordinary halter on him. He waved his hand and one of his assistants came over and switched the halter. Then he handed me the lead shank with the long chain attached. I asked for a simple lead rope with no chain. I then gently rubbed the horse's forehead and turned and walked him onto the trailer with out even a glance at the horse or anyone else. The next day he fired me. But that was OK. Breeding season was about over I had already delivered all the foals and I packed up and moved down to San Diego County where I built a state-of-the-art 970-acre thoroughbred farm that would rival anything in Lexington KY. For a billionaire businessman wanting to get into the racehorse breeding business. So if you find that what I am saying is nonsense, then perhaps you should at least give it a try before dismissing it.
I am now 77 years old and have been retired from that business for over 25 years. Now dealing with the persistent pain from a broken back acquired in my ills pent youthful attempt to be a bull rider. Which by the way, I was a dismal failure at. But I find all this nonsense on UA-cam very disturbing, and it's the horses that wind up the losers in this picture as a result of their incompetence and the misinformation that these channel operators peddle while professing to be experts. SHeessh Experts indeed. Do you know the definition of the word Expert? Here it is. Ex, denoting former or has been, and a spurt is a little drip under a lot of pressure. Think about that.
