MARK AND MOSES
When it come to teaching a new horse to trailer load, Mark's mule Moses is my best help. All you need to do is back the trailer up to the round pen and turn Moses and the untrained horse loose in the pen. Moses will do the rest. Moses will go in and out of the trailer until the horse gets the idea. In no time Moses and Calypso were standing in the trailer calm as can be. When he got excited and came out too quickly Moses showed him how to come out one step at a time then he backed out the same way. Calypso is not the first horse Moses has taught. Moses has loaded him self and five horses in my four horse trailer.
One night I did not secure Calypso's gate on his pen Moses let him out after I was gone. Next morning Calypso was in the pasture with the rest of the horses. When he saw me he ran to me then followed me to his pen where I haltered him. Now this is standard practice. When he sees my car he heads to his pen and waits for me there. I just hope Moses does not teach him to open gates.
