Great video. I really like your approach here. It's good to see someone work with patience and reinforcement and without pressuring the horse into loading up. Thumbs up!
Halter pressure was employed here regardless of what the caption says. That's the only way horses comply. You hold the harlter pressure until the horse steps forwared in order to feel the pull release of the halter. Then you repeat the process until you move the horse where you want it. Easy as pie. I've done many times with my race horses.
The title says 'No Pressure Halter' not no pressure used with a normal halter/head collar. Pressure halters are a specific type of halter and NOT what is being used here. You should learn to read before you criticise.
'How does he make it look so easy? Today I watched Michael load a horse that had refused to go into a lorry for several years. Within minutes, the horse was happily walking up and down the ramp - no stress, no panicking, just a calm, happy customer who had put his trust in Michael. The owner was almost reduced to tears and actually, no matter how many times I see Michael do it, he still amazes me every time.' Nicky Moffatt (This was a photo shoot for 'Horse' magazine out in August 2015 issue).
Got a 6,5 y.o chestnut arabian who's scared of the ramp/normal trailer. Tomorrow we'll introduce him to a truck like this. Hope it helps him. This video was very nice to see and gives me hope for tomorrow! All it takes is 1 good experience ^_^ (his fear is from before he was mine, he was never taught how to get on...so up to me to fix that).
Santobecks- as the horse is an Arab they are very intelligent and notice everything going on around them which can be mistaken for anxiety. The horse is also young and curious and will mature later than other breeds.
+Mark Dunlop - at about the 3m 20 sec mark the lens of a camera enters the scene - has this in some way 'spooked' the horse? I've noticed so often that when cameras are present close to a horse, or are seen particularly those with long lenses, it does tend to unsettle horses more..... I wonder if that is so, what the visual association may be for them?
OK if you’ve got all day. There are ways to do this without force or coercion. The horse just does it because he is told to do it. It’s called horsemanship
Great work! Out of curiosity, would you then go back and work with the owner on the horses general anxiety and deistractedness being handled on the yard and life in general or do you just train for the issue that the owner has brought you in for?
I despair that there’s few people out there who understand that principle of leadership. This gentleman comes close, as the horse will follow him on to the trailer but what is missing is to train the owner how to be a leader.
What a beautiful horse! 💕🔥 What a beautiful healthy back!

I'd like to see more of this horse - is there any Insta or RUclips channel etc.?
