- New series on how to fix anything with horses. How to fix horses that don't want to go onto the trailer. Make sure to subscribe and follow us on / elite_horsemanship
At Elite Horsemanship, we are passionate about improving the relationship (on the ground and under saddle) between each horse and their riders. We do this by focusing on the way a horse thinks, the way they learn, and what makes them tick. Having this knowledge, backed with a few simple groundwork and riding skills, we aim to show the general equestrian public how to fix any issue they may be facing with their horse.
This video is focused on horses that have major or minor issues with loading onto to the trailer.
We explain the reason why horses don't like trailers and some simple techniques to help you fix this issue yourself once and for all so that your horse starts to crave being inside the trailer. Sound too good to be true??? Its not. Its quite simple.
We hope that the information presented in this video serves you well and that you find value in the time you have spent watching this.
If you have a particular problem that you would like us to discuss in our future videos, then please send us an email (amru.alabidi@yahoo.co.uk) or follow us on integral (elite_horsemanship) and drop us a private message.
We will do our best to tailor our videos to what the public wants.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and please subscribe to stay up to date!!!!!!
Until next time. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Wow thank you so much! My horse would not load! He wasn't scared or nervous or stressed he just refused to come forward. Using your method encouraged him to step up and be brave. This totally worked with a difficult horse to load. Thank you so so much! We are well on our way to self loading. He is so relaxed in the float and is happy to stand there for as long as I ask.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help wannabe horse owners learn how to properly and humanely handle their horse. Sincerely from a fellow horse lover!🤠😎🐎🇺🇸🐎
This may work but we really would like to see it demonstrated on a horse that not obviously already trained to do it!
The first time a horse sees a trailer there may be violent reactions or next to no reaction until they are inside. The thing to know is that no matter how explosive a reaction, your job is to stay calm and to persevere with what you are doing, while staying safe (out of the horse's way). I had my mare suddenly get claustrophobic the other day, she pushed against the barrier which I had not yet latched, and rushed out violently. It would have looked bad to an outsider, probably what you are looking to see. But it made no difference to the outcome, all I did was lunge her outside the float exactly as shown, and then quietly load her again and again. I'd say this video gives you a few excellent pointers, the key is to keep repeating each step until the horse relaxes and responds the way you want it to. Then suddenly the horse will look trained. My mare took about an hour to stand where I put her calmly and in the correct position, she worked up quite a sweat by this point and the horse trailer was the only place I let her rest. I then did the barrier which initially made her claustrophobic, patted her a long time, and opened the barrier and took her out again, end of lesson. We are continuing with this training, because she is still not quite relaxed in that trailer (hence why I'm watching more videos) and she is too keen to leave as soon as the barrier is opened. So my job is to make her not care about the barrier against her rump, and to be totally relaxed in the trailer. Lucky for her, I am patient. I know if you just keep at it, the horse will change. It may look like it will never change it's behaviour, and a few minutes spent with an upset horse always seems like an hour. But reality is, if you just keep at it, the horse will eventually change its behaviour and you will have success.
Coming soon!
Great video tutorial. Thanks from here in the UK. 👍🐴
What a gorgeous boy ! Thank you so much for your lesson ! My horse came down with colic, we had to get him to hospital and even under sedation he would not load his box. In the end we had to push his butt with a bob cat and lift each leg to the trailer. Pure nightmare to say the least. I will be following your lead on box loading. Again thank you so much !
He's a lovely horse great advice and he knows so well ..great about tackling biting, clever legs is the key brilliant 👏
Thanks partner.
Very nice, thanks.
Great video. Although I not keen on the backing up but it could depend on the individual.
Good work,
Good video, thanks for posting
Thanks.
Fantastic ! very good , well explained , greetings from the north of México......Saludos desde el norte de México , buen trabajo !!!

Thank you 🙏🙏 and well done!!
Excelente and we'll explainef
Awesome!
Thanks.
Thank you! I'm going to try this with my filly. We'll see...
Shaylynne Swanberg best of luck
Wow thank you so much. My OTTB would not load. Then we he did load, he would stay in briefly, then fly out of the trailer. I have been working with him on this. Some days were good, some days were bad. After watching your video, he now loads
with no problems. We have a slant trailer and the previous owner stated he is used to a straight load. Now that he is loading and unloading fine, I ned to get him to move over to lock him in with the butt bar. When I ask him to move over, he backs out of the trailer. Any suggestions?
That’s wonderful!!!!! Well done
Beautiful horse. Can I have this horse. Hehe
So, as an Arabian horse owner and former breeder... what gorgeous stallion have you worked with here in UAE?
There were plenty back in the day. Most were absolutely spoilt and were aggressive. I have since moved on to working with gentler horses when I can.
My question is - we are told to never practise trailer loading without the trailer being hooked up to a vehicle. As its not safe.
Do you think its okay to do so. Then it would make life alot easier. So I don't have to hook up the trailer every time I wanna do some practise..
some trailers have a wheel that prevents them from tipping. Not sure what its called in english but if you don't have that on your trailer you should hook it up to a car.
You can hook it up but not do the chains or the electrics, that way it's a lot quicker. I do this each time, it's a bit of a pain but imagine if the horse went crazy in there and rocked the thing and it tipped over..
Great suggestions below from others.
Hi just wondering what country you are in?
I live in the United Arab Emirates.
What to do when my horse don't want to back up and stand still facing me? If I keep pushing him, He is standing/rearing up and he is right in front of me so it's dangerous.
keep backing him don't give an inch each time
What can you do for a horse that is more non reactive..
IMO these are the hardest horses to work with lol! If I had a horse like this I would use it as a babysitter for younger horses :). Generally, I've seen this happen because the horse was overly pampered and not treated like a horse.
I can't find any videos on getting the butt bar up. My horse will go in and stand for a good period of time but when he hears the butt bar he starts to back out. Any suggestions?
EquestDirectory.com thanks for the question and I’ll try to cover this topic the next time I have this issue. in principle, the area outside the trailer needs to REALLY mean hard work, and inside should REALLY mean rest. But the best advice for this particular issue is not to be cautious about putting the bar up. Just send the horse in, wait a couple of seconds and start making noise with the bar or stomp on the ground, or tap the walls of the trailer, you’ll find that the horse will back up again, and immediately encourage him to go back, work him out side and send him back in and repeat. You’ll find with the right timing he’ll improve a huge amount in just one session. Hope this helps 😳😳
What would you do if your horse freaks out when you shut the door of the trailer or when you start to move the trailer?
Kerrie Berry actually that issue takes a little more work that the basic loading itself. What I normally do is just work then a little harder outside the trailer until they are really really craving the inside of the trailer, and then let them rest for a lot longer inside the trailer. I know it's not the best advice but that's basically what I do.....
Give him a buddy who is rock solid in the float, sometimes we just need a friend to support us 😁
@@elitehorsemanship8765 would it be worthwhile getting the horse used to being boxed and unable to back out, some place away from the trailer? I'm pondering this and how to set it up, so the horse basically learns to accept that pressure on the rear end.
Ummmm when you train a horse to not be comfortable around the sides of the trailer How do you teach him to stand tied to the trailer? this causes more issues for the person to retrain to stand tied.
This is almost. The exact methods on the John Lyons Training Video.
There shouldn’t be major differences in the principles used with different trainers. It’s more of developed style. As for your question, horses are smart, they will figure out when they are being asked to stand next to the trailer and when they are being shown not to
I did this for 2 5 hours and my horse still only got halfway on..
It is one of the biggest tests. Keep going and keep learning
I show Arabs
Beautiful arabian.
Did he Poo in. The trailer
😂
تكلم عربي
LOL. You cut the video each time he wanted to back out.
😂
My problem with this is that my horse freaks out just seeing the box arrive and she never used too. And this horse your showing us isn't really that bothered by the trailer
I had a horse that hated trailers. When I began studying the different methods and what is required to teach a horse to load, I soon realised we had more than problem we had to conquer. One, my horse did not like anyone approaching his rear end (so how could he self load, he couldn't). Two, he was frightened of the outside of the bloody thing. Three, he did not like the ramp. I went away from the trailer and worked on leading my horse from behind (got stepped on the first time I tried, but we improved). Then taught him to lift his front feet and place them anywhere I say, usually a small pedestal. Finally, I took him to the trailer and worked him outside of it. On both sides, and behind the trailer. I even set up some barrels and had him cantering in circles around the barrels, past the trailer, back around the barrels. After a good 20 to 30 minutes my horse was covered in sweat, I let him trot... and then, standing a good 5 metres away from him (long lunge line), I moved the trot circle and asked him to trot into the trailer. And he trotted up that ramp like a champion and stood inside dripping with sweat. I dropped the rope. He did not move. I walked away and he stayed there. I came back with a drink and got in the trailer with him and let him have a nice long drink. He stayed for ages, until I asked him to quietly back out. Never ever had a problem with loading that horse afterward.
Brilliant explanation of what a typical session would like!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
ليه ماتتكلم عربي😒😒😒😒😒
just stumbled upon this randomly (yt recommendations eh?) and i can not help but notice this horse does NOT feel comfortable near this man at all 😂 even when just standing still, theyre clearly stressed, or relieving stress (shaking head, licking lips, snorting etc)
you call this horsemanship, and improving the bond with the horse. As much as i disagree, im not here to bash. id just like to know-- why?? what makes you think that way? where is your scientific proof? i ask for scientific proof, because i feel that is most reliable. not 100% accurate and trustworthy-- no. but anecdotal evidence (it worked for me/this video/my friends horse/etc etc) definitely isnt trustworthy either 😂
up for an adult conversation? hmu!
Thanks for the message. I agree, the part regarding aggressive horses can be hard to watch for some, but coming from having experienced a full on attack from an aggressive stallion, I learned that this happens quite a bit, and people need to at least think of a way to fix it. It can save lives. It also helps to show some kind of level of pressure you can / should go to (IF you feel in danger.) the other two reasons require some desensitizing
I can't believe you are doing this with an unhitched trailer. You obviously have never seen what happens when a horse loading flips the front end up. It's not pretty and pretty much guarantees that horse won't load again.
Good comment…. Probably much better to have the trailer connected.
We load practice with trailer not attached to car BUT never without putting the float on stands and secure it that way!
Last thing anyone needs is a horse too afraid to load due to a bad experience with a damn float moving when he gets on. Great way to teach a horse never to go on a float.😊
The horse was to pretty I couldn't pay attention to the video
Whip loading is for amateurs.
Why can't you guys literally use a horse that gives a issue or first time???? U guys always use a well trained one.
Check out the other vids of starting young horses that also includes the trailer loading.
Horrible way to treat a horse. This method may work with some horses but there are much kinder ways to achieve the same end. That poor horse is stressed. Also I agree with other. Moments - we need to see how well this works on a horse that is afraid of the trailer.
What are they? Let us know the other kinder ways

Use what is useful and ignore what is not.
