Hi Zak,  any luck with the trailer?

The video is called Trailering Babies.  I just republished it.

Hi Zak,  I'd treat this situation like I would a horse that's never been loaded (watch our trailer loading video with the babies).  Just take a lot of time and let him get comfortable with everything.  Back the trailer into a low spot if you can so the step isn't an issue, let him load himself if he will, then unload several times before you try to shut the divider.  Don't try to force anything and don't get frustrated, it can take a while.  If you don't feel like your'e making progress after a few days of that, flag him around outside the trailer (really make him work) then offer to let him go in the trailer.  This can take a while, too so be patient and ready to work for a while.  Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Hey Lucas.  As usual, it depends!😂😂😂. If the cow is already moving, I want my horse to move his front end.  That does a few things for me:

It gives the calf room to come by closer to me so I can improve my chances of catching.

It gets my horse's feet moving in case I need to jump him forward to get my dally.  A lot of times their feet get stuck in the ground if I move the hip over.

It gets my horse set on his hocks if I need to really shut the calf down.

If I need to get the calf moving, I'll move my horse's hip over so I can use it to get a little forward motion on the calf.  Basically squeezing it forward while setting up my shot.

Hope this helps!

Hi Heidi,  we had a few issues getting your video shot this week.  I'll get on it next week first thing.  Thanks, Richard

Ok! Look for that one next week.  Richard

Great question, Jamie. I'll add the outside rein when the horse understands the direct rein. If we add the outside rein while he still has resistance to the direct rein, we'll just confuse him more.

Lucas G Truax Ha!  Close enough!

So cool! Thanks for sharing!
