Float Training

If you have a horse that needs to be trained to load and unload from a trailer, we can help. Our float training services are designed to help your horse learn to trust and feel comfortable in a trailer, which is an important skill for any equine athlete.

• Benefits of Float Training: Float training is an important skill for any horse to have, especially if they will be traveling to shows or other events. A horse that is comfortable and trusting in a trailer is less likely to get stressed or injured during transport, which can help them perform better when they arrive at their destination. Float training can also make it easier for you to take your horse on trail rides or other outings, as they will be more relaxed and easier to load and unload.
• Our Approach to Float Training: Our float training services are designed to help your horse learn to trust and feel comfortable in a trailer. We use a combination of positive reinforcement techniques and desensitisation exercises to help your horse understand that the trailer is a safe and enjoyable place to be. Our trainers have experience working with horses of all ages and levels of training, and we will tailor our approach to your horse’s individual needs and personality.
• Duration of Training: The duration of float training will depend on your horse’s age, temperament, and previous experience with trailers. Some horses may be able to learn the basics of float training in just a few sessions, while others may need more time to feel comfortable and confident. We will work with you to develop a training plan that is tailored to your horse’s needs and goals.
• Frequency of Training: For best results, we recommend scheduling float training sessions at least once or twice a week. This will help your horse build up their confidence and trust in the trailer, and it will also give you the opportunity to practice loading and unloading your horse so you can both become more comfortable with the process.
