So many people, lot of noise.. horse poop, strong willed horse …these military men have the patience of a saint. That is true dedication.

They are showing that you don't beat a horse to get it in the lorry. Good job. I had a friesian stallion who refused but with gentle persuasion I eventually had him loading like a pro.

The horses are absolutely beautiful ❤️

Lol. That has got to be Arnie. A horse that knows his own mind!😂😆 Has real horse sense,

We had one horse say Nope for almost 3 hours once. I sat down and started to bawl out of exhaustion and frustration, and she looked at me, and then turned to the trailer,and just sauntered in like nothing had happened. 😂

oh bless them , but fabulous they didn’t allow them to load if they didn’t want to if they were stressed , brilliant !

I cracked up laughing the soldier kept on trying to entice that beautiful horse in the box he was having none of it❤🇬🇧❤ Thank you for the video❤

You’ll never ‘muscle’ a horse into doing something!! LOL 😂

The Horse told them what the problem was...it was the gap between the ramp & the pavement! He pawed at it to show them! For some reason, he was afraid to step up onto that Ramp. If they had of had another Horse to go up the ramp in front of him, showing him it was safe, he probably would have watched & felt that it was safe for Him to go up onto it also! Horses have really good Memories & there was some reason that he felt it wasn't secure for him to go up. Probably something that happened to him another time! Also the swinging divider between the horses may have swung in front of him another time! Certain horses won't go thru a swinging gate & you have to tie the gate back before they'll cross thru it, ESPECIALLY on a Windy Day! (like the Soldier who was holding the divider back) You just have to know their Temperament! He'll go back for more training so that he won't be so skiddish about being loaded into a trailer, again! His job requires him to Trust the Handlers & follow Orders, quickly, making him & his rider (or handlers) to be as one!

Good job being patient. They will get the horse loaded in time, but sometimes it just isn't going to happen. It would help if they could load in a quieter environment. But it's in the city...

Horse: I don't want to go for a ride, I don't want your dang food, I don't want to go.

If the other horse had waited, the last one could “ follow” the other into the box!😊

Is that our lovable Arnie? What a legend. ❤

Made up his mind - bring a horse to water but can’t make him drink . So very true .

Such is the life of having a horse. Sometimes they're just having an off day.

I love those horses, and I'm so glad they did not force the last one into the transport. Maybe they should get a ramp that actually reaches the ground.

Thank you for sharing.🐴

It’s not a King’s horse. It’s a Household Cavalry mount.

No beating or whipping and a lot of patience that's the right way to treat a horse. My boy hated loading so I clicker trained him to load. It took weeks of working with him rewarding him for putting one foot on the ramp and gradually working up it eventually paid off and he's the easiest out of my three to load now

The horse is the boss

It was obvious that whatever that noise was ,it started everytime the horse was just about to go up the ramp. He didnt like it.

Im so glad to see even the experts cant cajole their horses into the horsebox. My mare would load happily if you gave her a slice of bread. If you didn't she wasn't going in.

The trooper is so good with the horse. Beautiful horse and awesome troopers

I love this gorgeous horse! It's had enough of being told what to do. Hugs⭐🐎 After having to stand still all day on stones & concrete I hope they get to go play with each other in a soft green pasture. Fantastic beauties!❤✌🏼🌸

Yes, better not to keep trying to load him. Would just make it harder in the future if they did. Kudos to them.

These horses are treated with respect and loved ..

Some days are just like that.

Plenty of manure for the Kings roses!

Nope, I want to go back into the stables hahahaha.

These poor blokes obviously haven't watched any of Steve Young's videos!!!

If they would have let the horse watch the other horse go into the trailer they might have had better luck. Good video.

I'm not getting into that rotten ole van and you can't make me!

Great Video, Thank You.

There's some noise in background, don't know what it is, might be the reason he don't want to load?

I have to laugh...it's not as though you can pick the horse up...do you have an apple or carrot 😂

Clever horse !

I have a gelding who is kind of tough to load. I load his stable mate first and then he will load. I have to take him around in circles and get him moving forward. Once he gets one foot up then he just steps in.

Put another in first, you know those spoiled beauties have loaded dozens of times. My old cowboy granddad never had a problem, horses just never fooled with him. Someone inside knew something we can’t see.

To those few commenters (not on this site) who accuse the soldiers of not caring for their horses will be eating their words. This video shows they do.

Patience is what is needed when loading horses

Such beautiful horses!

I am constantly amazed that these horses are all just steel shod. Especially on all those cobblestones. I would have thought using rubber overboots would have been an additional element of safety.

Ahhh What I like to call the great equaliser happens to us all!!🙀🙀🙀👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺

Its a shame they can't load the horses away from the road and people etc. It's a scary place no matter how well trained these beautiful animals are. But I'm glad they don't force them too many times.

I would love that horse Truck very much thanks😊😊

The horses are owned by the Ministry of Defence, NOT the King. 🙄

hmm - not sure if I would have given in to the horse like that. very difficult in the middle of a high street, but this is behaviour the horse has now learned and could repeat again. I would have walked him around in a circle a few times near the ramp and then walked him with someone behind shushing him on. horse transport companies have to load horses all the time and they don't leave without the horse they have come to collect!

Going for a break. About month 3 away in afiled

With horses shit happens, they know their own minds.

Nothing like a DARK horse trailer to entice a horse inside...LOL This is where you pray for Chris Cox to appear and show you how to load a reluctant horse using the horse's brain to figure out it's more comfortable going in the trailer than being outside. Practice and good groundwork are key in getting them loaded. If you hit them, you lose.

NEVER look at a horse who is reluctant to be lead or load. Keep looking forward, walking forward with positive body language and the horse will invariably follow.

You want me in there go in there yourself, I don't want too !

C’ est la vie.❤

Incredibly noisy. Must be really annoying for the horse. Couldn’t they stop the construction and loud noises for a few minutes while loading them?

It's on the Horses time no one else's. Can not make a horse do what he refuses to do ❤

The noise in the background does not help..

Are we sure he's not a Golden Retriever in disguise, who doesn't want to do as he's told. I think when you're that pretty you can do as you like. And the one loaded wants to head home NOW....

The horse didn’t like the sound of the trailer or the look of it…to him/her all it could see was darkness!

I wonder where they were going...hopefully off for a day swimming at the beach.😊

Grain never works with that many distractions. They needed to place the frint hooves on the ramp and tried but that doesn't always work either

The background noise was putting the horse off. Had they stopped it for 5 minutes theorise would have gone in.

The way to cope with this, maybe to back him up the ramp? I have seen that done at Chester racetrack Just a suggestion

the horses are positively gorgeous, in the parade they looked like they could have been cloned! I'm an American and I live near a race track . Some of the horses have a friend, maybe a goat. Calms them down. Do you do that in England?

Remember the old saying you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink

He should have gave a apple to the horse then would go in I love horses beautiful animals ❤️❤️❤️🍎🍎🍎

When the advert didn't say "Good to catch, box and shoe" 😉

This was painful to watch. Trailer looked so dark and dingy inside and barely big enough for a horse like that. The dark ramp is usually an issue too, putting shavings on the ramp can help. Teach the horse to move forward by driving him into the trailer rather than pulling/ leading him, being patient and rewarding every try, every foot on the ramp. Giving up and taking him back in is just giving him a release (reward) for the undesired behaviour. It's reinforcing that he's done the right thing by not going in.

Anyone think of playing "goopy" music or nature sounds for the nervous horses?

reminds me of my bulldog..come hell or high water if he dont want to it doesnt happen...hahahaha patience is the order of the day and those gentlemen win hands down...

Pobrecitos, el animal mas maravillosos del mundo

Why don't they make the guy with the leaf blower or whatever the hell it is STOP?!!

I don't think the horse like van rides

Get two men behind and join hands behind the horse. Seldom fails to work. Since the horse is watching the workers across the road, blindfold him and lead him in. This didn't need to be difficult.

Wonder where they're taking them 🤔

Wat jsmmer dat dit niet eens kan op een rustigere plek. Iedereen kijkt😢. Een irritante lawaai op de achtergrond. 😢😢😢😢

He’s saying nope not today!

Where are they taking them to?

Steve young method straight on

Just like a child digging his feet in.

That horse has learned that he can get his way by being stubborn. If they don't correct that soon then he will become a real problem. He didn't get on to that trailer simply because he was being stubborn. You don't have to bully him to get him on but some light taps on his butt, or his back ankles and with persistence he would have loaded. You tap him until he moves forward a step or two then stop tapping to reward him. Rinse and repeat. He will soon learn that he cannot get his way and he will stop trying.

nice one horsie

What's that noise??

The horse - when you can not see it - is getting a sedation I think - this is the answer!

Could that on and off sound of a motor or fan make the horse nervous about going inside truck, it is loud

Pretty sure that horse has some crazy Arab somewhere in is bloodlines! Been there, done that-it ain't fun.

Why not just lead the waiting horse around him and onto the float. The first would probably follow. Instead that horse WON THE DAY - TWICE. The truck was making an insane amount of noise, the motor should have been turned off. I could not believe they tried to make the horse load by lifting its leg to put its hoof onto the ramp. Sorry Thats not horsemanship. Ive watched enough horsemen overcome these issues with understanding of the horse mind. That horse WON the battle - next time will be even harder.

Maybe he doesn't like the ramp. I've seen a horse go in trailer when they took the ramp away and he could just step up into trailer...like the stairs step

You have to talk horse . Tell him that's ok ,boy.

My mare was claustrophobic and wouldn't go into a horse trailer no matter if there was food or anything but if you tied a lunge line to the trailer one side and fed it round her backside and held on to it she would walk in quite happily. Also a heavy sheet over their body can help.

The horse said “NO” and no it was

Just let someone with no horse-knowledge lead him. That person simply expects him to walk into the van and the horse will do that 99.9% of the time. No pressure, no anxiety, no stress, just walk into the van... That's what the idiot on two legs wants? Even easier if "the idiot on two legs" is a yougster.

He is stressed out .use a pail with grain to coax him in always worked for horses we had .

The ramp was the problem - horse didn't like the step up.

put the calm horse on first. Usually the other horse wil follow him in. And turn off the street maching or whatever the thing making all that racket it. (Yeesh i wish ppl knew more about horses!)

"Hell no, I won't go"

maybe if they took them up together, it might have worked.

I would try the other horse and then that one will follow..

Y no pueden entrar el camion en el patio ? Para subir los caballos sin tanto estres?

no you cant negotiate with a horse back out and a walk around then straight on or tie it up and leave it

What breed of horses are these? Big and tall yet they look "crude" and lacking refinement. Andalusian, Arab, Marwary are much smaller yet much more beautiful.
