Description
Loading is only the beginning. A horse may walk willingly onto a trailer or horsebox, yet still find the journey uncomfortable, unsettling or difficult. Their experience of travelling can have a real effect on how they feel about loading next time.
This mini-magazine brings together original Intelligent Horsemanship Magazine articles that explore the wider picture: loading alone, transport safety, horses’ travelling preferences, and the many reasons a horse may become reluctant to load. It is a useful collection for understanding the subject more fully, rather than a step-by-step practical guide to loading.
For dedicated, practical loading support, see Sandra Williams’ book Loading the Less Easy Horse and our three-part webinar series on the same topic.
