An excerpt from "Trailer Training Horses":
There are two schools of thought when it comes to teaching a horse to trailer. I've touched on them earlier. Both versions use some amount of the "Go Forward cue" as you've practiced it – but, specifically, they come down to this: In one version, (we'll call it "A") we primarily rely on the Go Forward cue – plus patience – to get the horse loaded. This is more often than not, the route I personally take (or a mix of both, frankly). The pro is, it takes less sweat on your part and does a better job of teaching the horse to unload, the con is, it can take much, much longer. When I trailer-train a horse I know it's going to take a large chunk of time and I resign myself to that. The alternate route ("B") is to motivate the horse using the exercises we practiced yesterday to teach him that life is a vacation in the trailer and nothing but hard work outside the trailer. In essence, the second method makes loading up the horse's idea. The pro is it can be much quicker. The con is, you've really gotta work. (rpt)
