Now that he's good at that, you take him byrepparttar trailer. You openrepparttar 125790 door and let him sniff it. Then you step back and face your horse. You lunge him left and right in front ofrepparttar 125791 trailer while he passes back and forth byrepparttar 125792 opening.

After all this pointing and sending your horse now knows what you want. You have communicated to him when you point left that he is to move left and so on.

The next step is to face him torepparttar 125793 trailer. With his head facing intorepparttar 125794 trailer and you standing on his left side you then send (point) him intorepparttar 125795 trailer.

Some horses will simply jump right inrepparttar 125796 trailer where others may take more work.

If your horse doesn't go in after pointing and coaxing then take him away fromrepparttar 125797 trailer and make him work. Now you want to conveyrepparttar 125798 idea that being inrepparttar 125799 trailer means he can relax. Being outsiderepparttar 125800 trailer means he has to work hard. Eventually, he'll catch on.

Once you have him inrepparttar 125801 trailer, pet him and let him relax. Talk to him. Let him know how good he did.

Obviously, getting a horse to load in a trailer isn't rocket science. But you can do it. It takes patience and work.

The Cure To Stop A Horse From Kicking

Written by Andy Curry


Continued from page 1

The trick is to break a horse in a way thatrepparttar habit never occurs inrepparttar 125789 first place. Too many people think a lesson will be enough to educaterepparttar 125790 horse to be ready to go. But if you're driving your horse and he gets caught underrepparttar 125791 tail orrepparttar 125792 cross pieces ofrepparttar 125793 shaft touch his quarters...and those parts are unbroken, it would likely frighten and excite him enough to cause him to kick.

Andrepparttar 125794 worse part is this: Once started, there is an increased inclination to go on kicking until confirmed inrepparttar 125795 habit.

Sorepparttar 125796 cure is prevention. You must make all parts of his body submissive to sensitivity of his extremities. One way to do this is using a technique called poling. Essentially, you take a light pole and start at a horse's nose, rub it overrepparttar 125797 mane, back, belly, quarters, and sensitive parts ofrepparttar 125798 body, until all muscles become relaxed.

But what if you have a horse confirmed inrepparttar 125799 habit of kicking?

If that'srepparttar 125800 case, I can give you three possible answers.

One is to sellrepparttar 125801 horse. If you feel it's not fixable then it's not a good idea to keeprepparttar 125802 horse around. You're going to get severely injured if you're not extra careful.

Two, get a professional trainer to help you. A trainer will charge anywhere from $400.00 per month to $900 per month. Is that worth it to get your horse to stop kicking? Only you can decide.

Third, you can learn to do it yourself. There are solutions out there that are pretty good. Jesse Beery, which I mentioned earlier, has a permanent solution to stop it - and it's a guaranteed solution.
