An excerpt from "Trailer Training Horses":
Backing isn't natural for a horse so they'll naturally resist until they discover that it's actually easy as long as they carry themselves the same as when walking forward. A tip: If your horse is proving to be a bit of a slug here, make him walk back at an angle. (It causes him to raise his legs higher, keeping him lighter.) Stare at the back opposite leg and apply the pressure it takes (to his head, via the lead rope) to get that leg to step back and away.
Teaching your horse to back lightly on the ground is integral to teaching it to load/unload later. You must get your horse walking forward and backing easily, as if skating on ice. Being able to lightly move those shoulders and hips will make things even easier. Seeing this as a dance, with you the "leading partner," will help a great deal. Fred didn't yank Ginger, nor should you yank your horse about. To see what I mean, walk forward (just you), turn and begin walking backward, then to the side – always at the same cadence, never faster or slower and like a dance move. This smoothness is what you need to replicate with your horse. Walk your horse forward and around you, then turn the hips away and gradually build the pressure and change the angle until the horse is walking backward. He'll go from forward, to a sort of spin, to walking back – all without changing his tempo or missing a beat. Should you feel him lock up and resist, get him moving forward with gusto before immediately asking for the whole maneuver again. (rpt)
