    Re: [RC] trailer loading - Rebecca Rohwer


    Debby,
         Yes, that works very well.  That is one of the first things Buck had us work on in the colt starting class.  I guess that is why after working with my colt on trailer loading AND on having him walk by, that I was able to load him so nicely when leaving the clinic.
         Probably the best thing I learned at the clinic as a whole was ground work, ground work, ground work.  Then if things aren't going well in the saddle, go back to ground work.

    A good way to prepare for trailer loading is to practice on the ground
    nowhere near a trailer.  I have used Parelli Natural Horsemanship groundwork
    techniques especially the "squeeze" game, sending the horse between you and a
    fence, each time closer; sending the horse through narrow gates, backing the
    horse through gates.  Get the horse used to going where you send him on line
    before trying to load in a trailer.  Parelli has good videos including a
    trailer loading video.
