Synopsis

This is the book I wished for when first faced with asking a horse to enter a trailer. Even if you have no trailer and don't travel to events with your horse, it's impossible to know what the future will bring. If injury, flood or fire mean your horse must travel, the foundation skills will be there. The book carefully describes how to check whether the handler and horse have the background skills needed for calm trailer loading. If the handler or horse are not yet fluent with these skills, the book provides details about how to teach and learn them using positive reinforcement. 99% of the skills can be learned using trailer simulations that you set up at home, so it is not necessary to have a trailer. For readers not yet using equine clicker training, the book includes an excellent chapter on how to get started. Clicker training is also called the 'mark and reward' system. Used with people, it is called Training with Acoustic Guidance or TAG. A concise glossary helps clarify the few terms which may be confusing, but the book's language is clear and free of specialist jargon. 120 illustrations clarify the text. There are links to numerous free YouTube video clips that demonstrate the various skills and techniques. Many of the clips were especially made to accompany the book. A horse that steps into a truck or trailer willingly and with confidence demonstrates the thoughtfulness and time put into his training program.
