my poa when i was a kid wouldn't load; i saw them do roughly that when
(before i bought him) we took him to a show.  after i bought him and we
were bonded, he'd follow me on if i carried a bucket of grain.  after a
show a year or two later, when i'd forgotten the grain, he carried me on
while i held a handful of grass (he'd been tied to the trailer eating
that grass all afternoon :)

I agree. It's a problem that can be pretty easily fixed.

I heard so stories on how people drag, push, whip, lift their horse into a

Hi Virginia,

The way I do it its  kind hard to descript. I can tell you it takes a lot of 
time and patience with lots of cookies with a problem loader. I kind make it 
his idea to load and slowly they come in one foot at a time and there is never 
a fight. I have had a lot clients bring me their problem horses that will not 
load. 

If you bring me your horse I be glad to help you?

well, its not always that easy to fix, but  definitely not a deal
breaker.  AT best he just hasnt been loaded and is scared.  AT worst
he's phobic because something happened and that could take a little
time.  I only know one horse that isnt loadable and the owner gave up
after about ten sessions.  She is a peruvian paso mare and she just
goes berserk.  its hard to figure why.  my neighbor had a horse that
was in a trailer accident so bad they had to use the jaws of life to
cut her out of the trailer and her vulva and hips are scarred from it
and she hops right in a trailer with no hesitation at all.  so she
must not connect the trailer with that scarey incident  but i
suspect this peruvian mare, like my jaspar, and maybe this icey, it
isnt about trailer loading at all.  Its about training and not
trusting people trying to teach you to do something.  It gets bigger
and bigger in their minds til it is HUGE and they just get so leery of
everything they just want to avoid being made to do something new at
all costs.  So you have to teach them other stuff first and along the
way they begin to realize, oh, when I do things she asks I dont get
hurt, its ok, its way more hassle to fight her on things that to just
trust  it isnt about trailering its about asking them to leave the
comfort zone tey have arrived at after what was to them a horrifying
training experience.  jmo.

Lorraine, loading is an issue that can be solved
easily within just a couple of hours.  I wouldn't turn
him down because of a loading issue, that is
so easy to fix!!!

 Happy Trails from Lori

Hi Lori,
WE had a few horses that would not load and it only took me about 2hrs to teach 
the horse to load in a trailer.  A few yrs ago we purchase 3 horses and 1 ones 
in a trailer already and the other two were still babies and the oldest one of 
the 2 babies she just took a flying leap into the trailer, she almost drag me 
into the trailer with her, she leaped so fast.  One has to go at the horse's 
speed and take your time and not be in a rush to teach a horse to load. It has 
to be the horse's idea to load and they will load all the time. 

I got a method that I use that works.

Different Andi.  Andi seems to be a popular name for
palomino's, tho.  It means spirit or ghost, and it's
English sounding - well if pronounced the American
way.  I work with an Icelandic lady, and she says the
proper pronouncination is:  ahn-de (long e).  But I
say Andy!  He is cute, but my Andi is cuter!
