Re: [RC] Getting in the trailer - Ed & Wendy Hauser
"....I recently watched a timid lady spend 2 hours
trying to load her Mustang into a trailer in Cool. No offense, but this horse
was walking all over her. It wasn't scared. It was dominant over
her....."
That is a completely different problem. In
dominance battles, appropriate discipline, which can be rather forceful, is
called for. My strong preference would be to find some other arena to hash
out these issues other than while loading. I'd bet that trailer loading is
not the only time/place that this horse walks all over this lady. She
needs to take safe lessons with this horse until she either can handle the horse
or decides to sell him.
By the way, if I were in front of a horse that
charged into a trailer the horse would receive a correction for charging.
Personal safety trumps tailoring lesions.
