Overcoming Anxiety in the Trailer
from Be Your Best Horsemanship · host Phil Haugen
Hauling in a trailer can be a very stressful experience for a horse, especially if the horse has encountered a negative experience in the trailer before. Overcoming the fear of loading and/or hauling in a trailer can be a long process, but it is important to consider why the trailer triggers this response in the first place. In this episode, Phil covers the horse’s natural “fight or flight” instinct and how this plays a role in overcoming anxiety in the trailer.
