This Dangerous Horse really shocked me on this visit!

So here’s a couple of clips of me trying to help a real troubled horse that I had previously helped to get loading . Unfortunately when the owner was loading her some weeks ago she panicked and smashed her head on the top of the trailer gashing her head with heavy blood loss . Hours and hours of trying to re load her has failed 😞 and getting very dangerous . She now runs off and pulls hard to her right to escape . There is no doubt she remembered me from 6 months ago when he loading trained her and immediately wanted nothing to do with Steve.

My husband was a trainer and farrier. He accepted two huge gorgeous quarter horses off of a racetrack for training. One black, one white. When each one was unloaded, they both immediate rared and started striking with their front feet. The owner said they didn’t want them back because they had hurt several people seriously. Training took much patience and time. To make a long story short, both ended up being the most wonderful and kind horses. After a year of me owning and riding the horse we decided he was ready to go to a new home. A potential buyer came by who had a small handicapped boy. He rolled to the black horse in his wheelchair, met the horse and immediately they emotionally connected. The horse moved around to the boy as if telling him to get on. The boy took the stirrup in his hands and pulled himself up to a standing position and he was helped on. After being led around for an hour, he was given the reins and the horse responded so sweetly. They bought the horse and the boy rode the horse in parades. It was magical.

The stories people write in their own heads about animals versus what is happening right in front of them is just astonishing. People keep giving affection and releasing animals for bad behavior unwittingly. While more folks like this keep you in business, its amazing to see the ones that pick up horsemanship from you and go on to become fairly proficient and their horses continue to improve and that brings the most joy. So many horses get a better life when more people learn horsemanship and can help the horses get through difficult times and on to better times.

Goodness Steve you must be totally knackered after some of these training sessions both physically and mentally. Also you must be pretty fit to do what you do. Hats off to you for your sheer dedication.

[tammyspurdle]

Gentle, skilled horsemanship won the day, great job Steve.

Bravo Steve and Tanya. Even though I know you always succeed, I held my breath watching this one. So relieved you managed to stay safe.

[katherinewheatcroft]

I hope the pooh pooh critics out there watch this. No bullying. No anger. Just technique and experience. So pleased that both horse and you were accident free and calm at the end of the video. Well done Steve.

It is rare I get nervous for your safety Steve, but each time those legs kicked out inside that small trailer space, I did hold my breath a bit. How Tanya does it seeing you put yourself in some dangerous positions like that, I don't know. She must have to tell herself, you are doing what you love and helping so many horses that it would be worse if you didn't. God bless you both and your fantastic Charlotte.

This is true horsemanship. Time and patience. She was obviously scared of loading, and while I admit she was rather more adamant than most, I knew she'd eventually get it. You can't blame the mare for being scared, that injury must have hurt and she blamed the trailer.
One of my horses wouldn't load. I don't know what his prior owners had done to make him afraid, but he was intelligent and willing, just...scared. It took some time, but I taught him the trailer is okay. I'd lead him up to it and encourage him to just stand. Then put one foot in the trailer. Let's back up and rest. Pets, praise, then let's try again. No pressure. Next time, two feet in, back up, let's rest, pets, praise. I'd watch his eyes an breathing, when he's calm, let's try again. Next time, two feet, back up, rest, praise, pets. Once he'd get all the way in, okay, let's go out. Over and over, time, gentle patience. Eventually he got to the point, okay, I can do this.

[margaretfleming]

My goodness, that was one very determined mare! That one took all your skills.

[arlysdavis]

I’m so fascinated at watching horses respond to you.

[deb]

I'm so glad that you didn't get injured. Definitely, do NOT try this at home.

[helenpaskins]

[clarekelso]

This was a toughie Steve. And as usual your kind and quite amazing patience pays off. Incredible.

[theecherokeerose]

I've never had Monty Robert's trailer loading method fail, but it can take a tremendous amount of time and patience.

[jennyrosd]

Some horses wpuld prefer to not be challenged ....she remembers that she has to use her brain when steve is on the line. Haaa.
Looking forward to the full show!! Thisll make my fairly stressy trailer horse look easy. He used to be almost as bad and i would get so frusterated. Then i learned how, stopped taking it personal and he changed his mind. Its truly amazing what they know about us.

[sue]

WOW! I’m glad you were there to help her over it.

[tammyspurdle]

WOW ! a tough one for sure but you did it again Steve. Looking forward to the full video. 🐎
