The circumstances of loading a horse vary, but the following methods are given in order of preference:
Train the horse so it can be sent into the trailer at liberty.
When trailering just one horse in a two-horse trailer lead the horse into the side behind the driver of the truck pulling the trailer.
In a two-horse trailer lead the horse into the left side while you stand on the right side of the center divider, or vice versa.
It is least desirable to get in front and lead the horse in. Never do this without an escape door or front exit. Even with a door, use caution-most are awkward to get through, and also, horses have been known to follow the handler out.
