Too many people who want to help
who end up making things even more difficult
I will offer you a series of 4 articles where I list the errors to avoid if you want to easily get a horse into a trailer:
- Error #1 : the leader keeps requesting when this one thinks of going in.
- Error #2 : the horse backs up really quickly and end up hitting his head in the ceiling of the trailer
- Error #3 : too many people around the horse give inconsistent commands
- Error #4 : the horse leader/owner passes on his stress to the horse due to an important stake (e.g. competition, tight schedule, etc)
My goal today is to show how many people are requested to load a horse into a trailer. Have you ever faced this situation where lots of people are giving you advice at the same time and you don’t know what to do?
Similarly, you probably have witnessed a scene where several people are struggling to get a horse onto a trailer, each one going with their own advice. And how does the horse feel in such a situation? The same as you when you are in front of a TV debate where everyone is talking at the same time without bothering to listen to each other! The only difference is that you have the option of turning off the television. Eventually, the horse might end up with a tractor instead to finish convincing him to load!
Don’t miss the parody, followed by a demonstration of what to do best:
