Made this how to trailering video just for fun. It's not short, but wanted to try and cover EVERY angle of the process and display a good pace for someone not familiar with this technique. Video is a step by step guide to teaching a horse how to trailer load using the John Lyon's method that I learned from his VHS video as a kid.

I decided to create this video after attending a local schooling show last year where a family was struggling to load an older grey mare. At first I minded my own business and proceeded to warm up my horse and compete in my classes. After I finished, they were still trying to get her in. I approached and asked "would you like me to get her in the trailer?" They instantly said "yes" but were doubtful. They thought the problem was with the type of trailer and had decided to sell it and buy another. I gently said "no the trailer is fine, I'll get her in for you" Within 5-10 minutes which included the time I spent explaining everything I was doing and why, she was loaded. They were so appreciative.

In the past I'd searched online for a good video explaining this technique and found none. I said "I really need to do a video on this" which they all thought that was a great idea. It's been on my to do list ever since.
