TEACH MY TRAILER SHY HORSE HOW TO SELF LOAD 🙈😱

Loading has always been tricky for Cody, this is why I wanted to teach him that it isn’t scary and shouldn’t be feared.

Here’s a step by step guide on how we did it!

TRAINING DAY 1.

1. Get a high value reward for your horse, like dogs, horses can be highly treat motivated. Cody is one of those horses. I started off by putting his evening feed at the end of the trailer. Both ramps on the trailer were down.

2. I attached his headcollar and lead him up the ramp, it wasn’t easy but i didn’t pressure him to go up the ramp i made sure he was comfortable whilst doing so.

3. Repetition, I didn’t let him finish his dinner all in one go, we repeated it atleast 5 times before i let him finish his dinner, everytime he went inside the trailer he got a little bit of it though.

TRAINING DAY 2.
This day requires your horse to trust you.

1. I let HIM come to me, this was early evening so I didn’t have his food on me, I just had his favourite treats. I let him decide when he wanted to get on, no head collar or lead rope, it was up to him. Again, I can’t stress enough, I didn’t want to force him.

2. Once he got on, I made a massive fuss over him, gave him lots of treats, and he happily stood on the trailer for me which is wonderful!

3. We repeated this several times, now he is very well mannered on the ramp and can SELF LOAD!

DISCLAIMER: Cody is a very smart horse, it may take your horse longer to load that it took him!

I hope you enjoyed 🩷
