Video Of Max

[Lexi&Max]

Well Max has some trailering issues sometimes so we were all pretty excitied when he now loads/unloads like this: http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Maxjump-010

My friend shannon is the one talking. I understand Max looks SUPER ribby at the end of it. We are trying really hard to gain weight on him.
:p

Well heres somemore:

HAHA me and shannon sound like super idiots. :D the whole wood thing was because she kept trying to get him over the baby green one but she couldnt :confused: And we kept trying to give her tips but we arent really good with that.

thanks everybody!! :D

ya the whole trailering thing.. he just started doing that this year. does your horse like NOT load without a figght? or is he just iffy then goes in? justwondering what we did was had max on a lunge line and i stood like behind the chest bar and like kept pressure on it until he took a step toward the trailer then my barnowner stood like 15ish feet behind him and just swung a whip (well we used a carrot stick.. go parelli! but you can use like a dressage whip) not at him but just around and he finally jumped in.

i think horses need to have like a video in their stall of how to load and unload. it would take a lot of pressure off. :rolleyes: :p

Well actually he's always loaded just fine, but decided the other day he just didn't want to. I KNOW it's a respect thing-- he's using the move from our trainer's barn as an opportunity to try some "corporate restructuring" :o Little monster.

Always before I could just lead him right up and he'd hop in, yesterday I was trying to load him- alone- to go to a lesson and couldn't get him in for the life of me. Finally (just before bursting into tears and just after a pleading call to my trainer for advice :D ) I called my dad to come out to the farm and had him help me do the lunge line/whip manuever you just described. Regal protested a little but went right in. My trainer says I could do that one personed, but I just see myself being yanked up and thawcking headfirst into the chest bar while my horse gallops off towards the highway. :eek: :p
