Thank you Ryan! I talked so much cause I was excited things were finally making sense! Huk thought so to, and I continue to work at it and getting better and better. Unfortunately he is just a bit still hard to catch lol.
Hi Ryan! In almost 40 years as horse owner, and working with all types of horses, from quarter horse to thoroughbred, I have learned that trailering ( we call it a horse ‘float’ here in Australia) a reluctant horse can be a frustrating and sometimes dangerous activity. I have seen some really nasty accidents with horses, and sometimes owners, suffering bad injuries in this situation. You have just demonstrated an understanding of why a horse won’t load, or is hesitant, or just plain afraid to walk up that ramp. Your understanding and patience has shown that horse just what is needed to give him confidence that there is no monster in that trailer that is likely to harm him. You nailed it!
I don't have a horse, I am just a horse lover. Your calm, compassionate understanding of the horse is compelling, and I am fascinated by your common sense training methods.
@@SK-tm5khnot sure what your talking about but he has always replied to my direct message on patron, and had given me a bunch of tips and advice that I am currently working on. He has several different videos on buddy sour. Free on RUclips as well as patron. He has never deleted my comments or questions.
IT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE & GETS RESULTS. JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE TIME & ENCOURAGEMENT YOU WOULD WHILE TRAINING ANY OTHER ANIMALS. COMMON SENSE & BUILDING TRUST. 🐴🤍
I really like the concept of the *try line* - I think it helps keep from being too impatient and to recognize the small, incremental progress steps that can be rewarded….thanks!
I love how gentle you are with the horses and how you persuade them that the right thing is easier than you're pestering them! You're truly a gem to all horse owners! Thank you, Ryan.
I loved how much he tried. At the end when he took that next step in he was shaking a bit but really putting his heart into it. Please let us know or a follow up video to see how he's doing. Btw, he's a beautifully built horse.
True! He's such a beautiful good boy. 😍 It almost always makes me tear up a little bit when they begin to back out and they're on their tippy toes almost and you can tell by those gingerly, mincing steps that they're afraid of backing down the ramp. The kindness and understanding in this type of training and the result for the animal is just astounding to me. ❤️ I am endlessly fascinated by it.
When I started using "retreat" a lot more in trailer loading yearlings, the whole process ironically goes much faster and better. Walk as close to the ramp as they can... retreat (back up). Walk a big circle, walk to the foot of the ramp, retreat. Walk a big circle, one foot on the ramp, retreat. Walk a big circle, 2 feet on the ramp, retreat. Call it quits for the day. Next day: repeat all steps up to 4 feet on the ramp. Then all the way in. Quit for the day. Next time: all the way in and stand there 5 minutes with some food. After 3 lessons, these yearlings are walking in so calmly, backing out perfectly, never any issues.
I adopted a mustang on Monday. The horse trailer is part of her corral. Her hay is outside and inside the trailer. She just sees the trailer as a nice place to hang out. I see a lot of people not taking the time to let the horse hang out at the trailer without any expectations. BTW I do the same with any other item I introduce a horse too.
An area of horsemanship that I've been lucky enough to learn with some wonderful people. The way you explain with clarity and keep it simple really resonates and I never stop learning and 'seeing'. Thank you Ryan, from the heart. Horses need more people like you.
Ryan, we can all take away many positive aspects from your videos. What a depth of understanding, patience and reading the horse! You certainly "coined" a great phrase- " Working where the horse is at". Love It!
Although my horse loads fine, I cannot get enough horse loading videos. Every time is different and I always learn (or relearn) a new concept. Trailer loading is one of the toughest places for me to read a horse. Thanks for your time Ryan.
A darned good video!!! Reading "try" and "checking in" example of getting the respect and ground work together before the trailer is even introduced! Thank you Ryan, you are AWESOME!!
Hi Ryan, great video. Totally agree on your decision to stop the session at a point when the horse has made progress and is trying. Years ago I had a mare that reared 20 yards from the trailer. It took two sessions to get her going in on her own. The first one ended when she got onto the ramp as that was a huge effort for her. I’ve had others that didn’t load well but have always tried to get them prepared in good time for any journeys by doing a bit at a time and finishing each session on a good note
When I first got my horse, he wouldn't load. He would park his front legs and would not move. Finally, I walked in the trailer, cut a slice of peach (which he loved) and it looked like he "shrugged his shoulders" and just walked on. I like your way so much better
Getting a horse to trust....and quitting on a winning moment are so important. Great video!! I like the approach with the action and heat of work can be released by just accepting the trailer. Each time, the horse became more confident about going in the trailer! Force would create more problems.....and leave the horse with a bad experience.
Very important to remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, and animal training is very much like building a city: First things first, lay your foundation, THEN build the structures, THEN put in the fancy little touches, etc.
I've only had to load my horse once; to move to a new boarding location. I got lucky and he loaded in 2 min with a few tries. But I will keep this in mind for our next trailer load; when ever we need to move again. I like the " I can't ask a trying horse to try". Without knowing it, I have been trying the "small back up" before trying again technique for the past 2 weeks and have found it to work good at getting past scary objects. Now I know why! Thanks for explaining that Ryan; I think this will change my way of approaching new things with my old baked potatoe! (he's a plump old QH lol!)
Thank you for your videos, Ryan. I greatly appreciate your approach to horsemanship and learn something every time! You pay attention to the horse's personality and experience and customize your approach as needed. Please keep up the great work!
I think I learn a little more every time I watch a video… read the horse not the list! Got it! Now… how to read a horse…. 😅 can you give me a list? Lol😂
Some people just don't know when to quit. Some days it might have to be even the teeniest bit of progress. So many times, I've seen people accomplish what they want, only to try and double and triple down on it... that rarely works out. Horse needs to go in the puddle? It does now? Great, let's ride it through every puddle! Oh... now we've got to start all over again now that we're both worn out?!?! If you and your horse just keep pushing it until both of you are shaking from physical and mental exhaustion, you might get the biggest breakthrough, but 99% of the time you've just made that an unbelievably negative experience for both of you.
My horse will load. I still have the problem that he is incredibly stressed to trailer alone. So much so, he has muscle tremors and sweats immediately. Dripping sweat just for a short ride with the window down 30 seconds around the driveway. Long drive, unloads dry. What do I do?
@@JG-mt3rp Thankyou his sire is Fisher’s Gambler of Sport Horse Logic in Florida. His sire and dam were both black. His sire is so much more amazing! Wish I had him too.
Remember....he weighs over 1000 lbs...and horses are Intrinsically very very dangerous and i've been doing this for over sixty years. I have taught for Uber 60 years. Owned 2 horseback riding camps...and NEVER gotten anyone hurt....you cannot force or drag or beat an animal that weighs ten times what you do. You must be alert, alpha and always respect their fears and teach them to trust you MORE than they fear their fears.this is a good sensible kid, with a good attitude.( i lied about never getting anyone hurt...once a camper got in Fire Ants and needed Benadryl!!!!) Sorry
I’m wondering this too… I’m almost seeing saddlebred maybe crossed with Clydesdale? And then I question again if he’s got some warmblood in the mix…or even (long shot guess) some Lusitano? That Saddlebred keeps coming back to me- mostly due to his posturing and head carriage, that snake-y neck too…but he’s not moving like a gaited horse. Im guessing his posture is probably being masked by anxiety
Yeah... as a semi-new sub to this channel, I am going to kindly second this comment and suggest a bit more video editing/refining would be LOVELY! (Still love your content!!)
@@SamDoe-zn3tu Agree. The objective is not to rip her apart. Maybe she’s just naturally chatty but Ryan’s knowledge is the gold here so let’s just help folks focus on that.
I have noticed so many of these people, need to talk less and listen to what this guy is saying. But they just jabber, 'yep' 'uh huh' 'yeah'.... just listen people! then half the time when he asks them to try what he showed them, they can't do it like he tells them. irritating.
She was probably just nervous. Ryan is an expert at what he does. She's not at his level, or else she wouldn't need to call him out. She will take time to develop the level of efficiency that he has.

It's something you're born with: either you have the natural human energetic gift of empathy which can read others, or you don't
. I've referred to it as a genetic defect! And yes, I've had horses. They teach you so much about who you really are.
Thank you Ryan! I talked so much cause I was excited things were finally making sense! Huk thought so to, and I continue to work at it and getting better and better. Unfortunately he is just a bit still hard to catch lol.
the 'try line' is a useful concept - thank you for another great video
What a gorgeous horse!! I loved the way he started wanting to chew on Ryan's hat at the end there. Gotta love a fun personality!

Thanks 👍

Me too, me too. I love his approach on this !!
Great video, thanks for the shout out 🎉
He is beautiful and has a beautiful large forward trot
Horse Whisperer. Awesome Bud.
Hi Ryan. I don’t know anything about horses but I love all animals. I love watching you train both humans and horses. Thanks. 😊
Very nicely done to stop on the positive note. The whole session was very informative and the horse felt considerable with your asks
The horse felt comfortable with your asks.
How tall is this horse? Goodness!
You always explain and demonstrate in ways that make so much sense. Thanks!
Great video on watching the behavior.
A darned good video!!! Reading "try" and "checking in" example of getting the respect and ground work together before the trailer is even introduced! Thank you Ryan, you are AWESOME!!
I'm thrilled to have stumbled across your videos. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your talent and intuition.
Such a great example and explanation of what a try line is….thanks.

It's like undoing a knot isn't it. If you just pull it gets tighter, you have to slacken it off first to release the tangle
Thanks for the video!
You bet!

Great video so many horse owners need to understand what you demonstrated. Well done
This is where we quit, bravo!!

Hmm. Interesting, thanks!
Bro you are too much👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥
That is amazing !
He makes success on the horse's terms ... just like we need to give a dog success on HIS terms ... not ours!

Awright .... good deal...😊
Thank you
The last few minuten he licked and chewed ❤
I love how the only thing she says is yup,okay,yes 😂
I know I was too talkative, I wanted Ryan to know I understand. And I was also bit nervous. Sorry it’s was annoying.
