Natural Horsemanship Centre “it’s way more than riding...” Hosts Judy & Larry Griffiths          Uxbridge,  On.  CANADA Dream Feather Natural Horsemanship Centre It's really.. not about the trailer ...really, It's Not ! Horses are prey animals so it should not be surprising that they don't want to get into a “metal cave on wheels”. We have all seen them forced in, using mechanics, fear, intimidation, drugs and a “gang” of humans, so there is nothing sweeter than a horse wanting to get into the trailer with a trust and a confident attitude. What will be Covered: • Understand how your horse's horsenality is critical to having the right approach to loading. • Learn to play the 7 Games with the trailer as the object      • Focus firstly on the horse becoming really confident      • Discover how direct line thinking (getting your horse in the trailer) or putting 'purpose before principle' leads to fear and a          breakdown of trust      • Have the use of a variety of  kinds of of trailer to play with Note: due to the importance of maintaining the confidence of both student and horse, all  teaching points above may not be covered in the time allotted. Format: This will be a one day clinic with two, 3- hour sessions (6 instructional hours in total).
