    I’m sorry but I find it a bit funny that you can handle huge horses. Get respect from them. But this little bird after 40 years still won’t give in to you. Lol😂 I’m so excited you guys are coming to North Carolina. May is great. The humidity is still manageable then.

    I almost can't watch these trailer loading videos anymore due to the regret I experience over the mistakes I made with my boy back in the day! If there was one thing I could go back and do over, that would have to be it. Steve is doing such a huge service to anyone willing to learn from his methodology!
    Also, not that I ever doubted him, but in recent videos Steve shared, showing first Darcy moving Chevy and then Chevy moving both Jimmy and Rolex, the importance of establishing control of your horse's feet became crystal clear!!

    I have found that rain can help also if it is bad enough. I was once caught at a horse event during a flash flood, thunder clump. Quite a few owners had spent much time that morning loading difficult horses. We got back from riding and the rain was so bad (and painful) that every single horse raced onto the floats the second the ramp was down. They were willing to suffer the deafening sound of the rain on the roof of each float (trailer) rather than stand outside in the rain and flooding water. After that all those horses were consistently much easier for their owners to load. None of the horses in question were stabled horses, they all lived outdoors all year long.
    You did a good job with this lad. I hope more people take your "woah" suggestions to heart. Children and dogs are the same. Say what you mean.

It was well after dark by the time I got home and boy was he serprised when we got there and he realized his friend I took 2 days before was already there. I started early in the morning and rode the hole way none stop.

      no horses did change. The same principal applies but I bet they are way more intelligent than they were from working around us. Especially drafts who never get wild blood and thus always in presence and working with humans.

    • @OnceUponaTimeline
      @OnceUponaTimeline Před 4 měsíci

      That horse seems like a fast learner and not very spooky either which also helps. He's just kinda pushy so she'll need to keep on top of not letting him barge through. If she can do that, I think she'll be very happy with him. It seems like Steve gets two general types of horses with these trailer issues. Some of them are just terrified of the trailer and it takes a lot of patience and a lot of nagging to get them to brave it and they'll be shaking and near panic when they do go in the first time. They may respect their owners greatly but the fear rules them. Then there's horses like this that just would rather not and just don't feel the need to obey their owner, they consider the efforts to make them go in as just an optional request. Those ones just need some feet moving and respect of handler and then it does not take them long to go in to the trailer, they were not that scared to start with so they can overcome their fear pretty fast. Once they go in and see the chow, they adapt fast and it it's pretty easy from there.

    • @SocialShires
      @SocialShires Před 4 měsíci

      @@OnceUponaTimeline absolutely right. That has no fears. He just didnt feel like it.
      From what I`ve seen with the shire breed is they dont feel like helping you and obey you UNLESS you are a trusted friend. They are thinking horses and can manipulate you as well. That's something I had to learn really quick with my shire.
      But oh boy do they learn fast !!
      How I got mine to trust me wasnt through moving feets and etc. No commands. I showed her I was very good at meeting her needs for scritches and good at pulling hay out of a net for her.
      Stupid it seems , but with her past, she needed a different pace, a kind owner willing to help her instead of spewing commands evevytimes.
      It worked.
      Now it's very hard to figure out what she knows and doenst know. She learns things first try so I have no clues.
      Those big horses are a joy. People just need to get over their fears of a 6ft tall horse and then they'll see WHY owners rave about them.
      There is no horse I`d rather have, even with unlimited funds.

    • @OnceUponaTimeline
      @OnceUponaTimeline Před 4 měsíci

      Every horse is diff in what it needs. Some are gentle and a gentle request is the way with very mild adversive 'punishments' like just back them up or make them do some spins if they are naughty but you still be overall gentle. Others are pushy and you have to be a bit more pushy . But the big training rule for dogs IMO also is valid for horses, you just do enough to get them to respond but don't be more harsh than that, any more than just what you need and it causes more problems than it solves. @@SocialShires

      By law, in the EU and US, horse trailers over a specific G.V.W. are required to have brakes. I’m inclined to believe the UK has similar laws.

    I really love your videos. I wish I still had horses. I wish I knew then what I have learned from your videos. You are the best. Thank you for sharing with us!❤

    2:25 I am sure you will have noticed, playing it back, that touching your ear, drew the 🐦's attention to your ear!

    Scary how he moves side towards you to avoid getting on the ramp. But looks like u still stay safe where you stand and so quickly correct him. One little bump from him and can knock you around. Wow.

    Brilliant … you make it look so easy. I’m sure we just saw a bit of the groundwork but he certainly caught on to it quickly enough.
    He’s a gorgeous boy but there’s definitely no fooling around with him … someone could get seriously hurt.
    So Max has it out for ya does he?!? Maybe he’s jealous? I noticed he was gone when we got to the end of the VLOG. He must trust you to a point though because I remember shortly after you got him back he took off for a day or two in the wild … and it was you who had to retrieve the naughty boy, from way up in that tree. Does he boss the cat around too?
    Anyhow loved the lesson today … again, you can’t stress it enough that the groundwork has to be done and one has to stand their ground! Got it! Oh and to make our idea their idea! 😊
    Happy Trails! 🙏🙌❤️🍎🐴🥕🐎🍏🇨🇦

    Steve...you are simply awesome!
    It's like, in a very short time, you have the most giant horses giving in to your every command. It's just magical!
    My big ole Belgian mix was a teddy bear. But he was a stinker whenever it came to being loaded onto the trailer. Sometimes, I would just stand there, put my hand on my side and say "Really Blaze? Are you gonna be difficult today?" Honestly, he would just decide to be a good boy, and walk right in. I mean, come on...he knew there was a bag of hay hanging in there...just like always! Lol
    I truly enjoy your videos so much! I could watch you all day!

      They understand a lot more than we think. The drafts seems more thoughful and calculating. I`ve had heated negociations with mine, never thought that was possible. Ive had a day where I got on and she wouldnt listen. (bareback, no halter). She would do whatever, turn around, one step, nonsense. Then I said the word I established to give her control, so she can decide on her own. She brought me all the way to a broken fence, then a big puddle that wasnt there last time I was with her, and to a new area where the fence was moved. Once that was done, she went straight to where I wanted earlier and followed my clues.

    many previous owners couldnt handle my mare without a whip. shire, 17.1h and the lead mare. Got in the paddock without a whip to protect myself. She charged but I was able to stop her, cutting her drive line 10-15 times before she stopped. I had never seen a horse so stubborn. It's like something clicked in her. She liked me. I've then started visiting her and simply being nice and calm, help her relieve itches and etc.
    She did protect me as a ressource, being shes the high horse but it didnt translate into her not respecting me.
    I think no whip always meant she was in charge of humans, and could have been the first time someone stood to her without the association of a whip. What do you people think?

    Interesting arena - what is the ground material ?
    Despite all the rain, the material took it so well.
    Here is the USA, sand is the most common material, but that material looks interesting. I would like to research it.
    Thank you!!!
