DAY 1
★ Confidently Self Load your Horse- Stress Free Trailer Loading
The secret to stress free trailer loading is simple...teach your horse to load themselves into the trailer. Learn the step by step process and the reasons why each step is important. Then watch how easily and confidently your horse will load onto your trailer.
Horses by nature are claustrophobic, but they can learn to work easily in tight spaces when they learn how to regulate themselves emotional and mentally understand what you are asking for with your cue system. When your horse easily loads every time, everyone is happier! Take the time it takes to teach them to do this and it will take no time at all to load your horse in the future!
