my horse had got to the stage he had become dangerous loading, rearing, striking, barging, spinning. nothing worked to load him. I'd tried special halters, bridle, multiple lunge lines, barriers and various "techniques" . after watching this video I tried out the lunge line like this. after initially taking 45 minutes to load he ended up basically loading himself each time after!! I never thought he would become such an easy loader and owe it to this video, thank you!!
Tried this today after my horse started to refuse to load, she would get half way up the ramp then back up and rear at me each time. I would always turn her away and circle when she backed up which I now realize was the worst thing to do! It initially took 35 mins to get her to go on but keeping her attention on me, not putting too much pressure on the lunge line, patting her when she moved, staying on the ramp and keeping her front feet active made a huge difference. She went on each time after that with no issues at all. Will try again tomorrow to be sure she hasn’t forgotten haha 👍🏻
Good Job. I use to use the Monty Roberts Dually Halter as well but my mare hated it and became very anxious so I do not use it at all. I really like your videos. They have helped me as well. Thank you.
Very nice to see, especially how she relaxed at the end. I also tried the Dually halter. It worked well for a bit to get the pressure-release basics going (I had to learn them too), but my horse (and some horses in general) just don't react well to pressure on the head. When I pull on my horse's head, he either doesn't move or hangs back. I switched to sending him in and motivating him from behind with a short whip, and he goes in nearly perfectly now. I could even load him on my own.
When mine backed out and pulled, we lunged for a bit. Then reload and lunge more, if needed. Doesn’t take long to learn that outside the trailer is pressure. Inside is release.
Lovely watching someone intuitive but also businesslike with a horse. Note to other commenters: If the horse is rearing and acting up you've already done it wrong :-)
My paso does this . My temper and blood pressure would boil . He did fine loading up to 4yrs and then he does sometimes .sometimes dont but the rope works everytime. I hope and pray it never lets me down
That's a difficult horse? You should try doing this with my horse. He wouldn't even go near the trailer, let alone put his front feet on it. I can get him right up to the ramp now. But I spent 3 hours patiently trying a few days ago. I managed to get one foot on the ramp for a few seconds. But I had to lift it on myself haha!. I'll just have to keep at it. Where are the video's with actual difficult horses? :)
This doesn't seem like a difficult horse at all. I used to spend hours trying to load my difficult horse onto the trailer, who once he saw the trailer wouldn't move within 100 feet of it. My horse is fine loading now... but whenever I try to find videos on youtube of difficult horses, the horses are never acting very difficult.
The halter also doesn't make a lot of sense, as you are putting pressure on the top of the nose.. While you want the horse to go forward. That's why I don't use it at all anymore, just a rope halter sometimes (though pulling doesn't work well with that either).
this is exactly what mine does, except he just rears up and throws himself to the side. he got into a smaller box but couldn't do the turning part so hopefully he'll get into a trailer properly
Obviously, you didn’t tell her where you were taking her. If I tell the dog we are going to the park, she jumps right into the car. If I tell her it’s the vet, then ....
Kathy Skirbst That really depends on the horse a lot of horses do not trust ramps. Especially if they see one bounce or blow in the wind. In a lot of ways a step up is easier and safer. if a horse Flys off the back of a ramp it can go off sideways and cut or twist it's leg. I had a really bad rearer with ramps because she didn't trust the space between it and the ground since seeing one blow. a step up I point and she practically jumps on.
Why is it that nearly every one of these videos show the person that’s supposed to be leading the horse onto the trailer is walking backwards? How many of you lead your horse walking backward? Simple answer NONE!!! The first thing you teach a foal when teaching them to lead is when you turn to face them that means STOP! The second thing you teach them is when I place my hand on you that means STAND STILL. Now knowing that why would anybody while asking the horse to walk forward onto a trailer do either of those things? There cannot be two more confusing signals to a horse than to ask them to walk forward and stop at the same time or walk forward and stand still at the same time. No matter what the hose does they are wrong. This is confounding to me, a retired professional horseman of 45+ years. One that I might add, has never met a horse that I could not load, alone with no gimmicks, treats, feed, or any other tools or equipment other than a simple cotton lead with a snap on the end connected to the bottom ring of the halter. And lastly NO PAIN of any kind for the horse or me.
You cut the film. If you're going to teach others how to load a difficult horse, and know what you're doing, there wouldn't be a need to cut your film. "Tricks" is not part of horsemanship. Understanding what your horse is telling you and getting her to trust you is key.
Using a bit is a human bully tactic....using pain from metal in the mouth instead of teaching her to understand is not the way!!! Good job Michael Peace!
I don not think it is wise to turn your horse around to come out. They need to learn to back out. If you have 2 horses or a smaller trailer you will have problems.
You do not back a horse out of a horse box. Only a trailer. If you look at this box it is set up so that the horses travel sideways, thus they always will walk out.
@@cathiwim If you use trailers, no, unless you have a front unload and then they walk out of the front, but with a horse box- a powered lorry/truck deigned specifically to carry horses, you do not, ever, back them down the ramp- you can see quite clearly that the ramp is high and long- most trailers do not need a ramp.
With all do respect. I think I can do a better job getting that horse in the trailer. He is not communicating with the horse enough. He's treating her too much like an intimate machine,,, not a living THINKING animal....

with me she'll WAUNT TO GO......😭🙆
Poor,person🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️🤺💀👎🏻
Watch Ryan Rose you'll have your horse loading in 5 minutes
You know your job and are very patient . Fantastic to watch your work 👍

@MichaelPeace thankyou for this. It's shown me how to 'rope them in' when I'm on my own. No need for 2 people!

that horse is so beutiful

Nicely done..Good job dude...thanks
Beautiful horse ❤️❤️
Gob bless you.As u are not cruel to such beautiful animal
Michael, I need you in my life!
My paso does this . My temper and blood pressure would boil . He did fine loading up to 4yrs and then he does sometimes .sometimes dont but the rope works everytime. I hope and pray it never lets me down
So many times in the 1 day. Surprised so many. More than 4? Surprised horse didn't get sick of it.

Ikr my horse took 43 minutes the other day😂😂😂

aint that the truth.... i spent two hours in the pouring rain once, after an event trying to get two horses on to go home
I don't understand why you or your clients don't wear gloves , rope burns are the worse most painful thing ever.
She's beautiful, you got a picture of her? wonderful horse.
Is that one long line your using to the leading and the quarters?

How do you do, or how is the knot you are using to pull her back called

I have a step up so it is even more difficult to make progress. Most training videos use a ramp.

How could any idiot think that the pat pats on the neck are harsh?
OMG.
+kathybaca I don't know a single horse enjoying these kind of slaps - not ONE.
🚨25/30 miles per hour....ONLY!📢🚨
one great tip, load them with a bridle on, using the bit means they cannot use their weight and run off the ramp
amazing
COME...ONNNNNN!☕😍

a tip for you guys do not load a horse on a trailer if you don't know if it will back off with out going crazy all this will take time
Baddddd✨✨✨🛣️
Using a bit is a human bully tactic....using pain from metal in the mouth instead of teaching her to understand is not the way!!! Good job Michael Peace!
Do you think a horse really sees the sharp slaps you apply to her as pleasant, as a reward?
Yes. Obviously since her relaxing was a visible sign of pleasure.....

You can’t back a horse out of a trailer like this it’s too steep..do you actually know anything about horses????
I want, HER📢😍
Ooooh my gooot! Its amaizing!!!! Bread to the dick!
prom....ise😏💋💍👸

"intimate machine" - love it! What is another example?
Xox oxoxoxoxox oxoxoxo
That’s not a difficult horse just a wishie washie handler
You might be the person who knows the answer to this question: is it true horsey types know everything?
