We need to be way more appreciative of horses being willing to get into trailers for us.
Have you been in the back of a trailer while it’s moving?
It’s loud.
It’s rattly.
Cars come flying by.
It’s warm in the summer, even with windows open, plus the open windows make everything louder.
You constantly have to balance.
Even as a human with the context of why trailers are used, an understanding of their purpose and the capacity to realize we aren’t being trapped with the intent to cause harm, it is unpleasant.
Trailering is one of those regular skills that many humans just expect of horses.
It’s all too common to “teach” horses to load through really coercive and harsh methods instead of a rewards based mindset.
Horses who don’t want to load in a trailer possess an intelligent level of self preservation because it is that unpleasant, scary and dangerous feeling.
Going into a small, dark, hot, rattly box that teleports them to somewhere new and scary isn’t something any flight animal should want to willingly do.
Their choice to fight going into it and attempt to advocate for themselves is a normal one that should be expected from a flight animal.
So, us humans need to be gentler.
More appreciative.
More understanding of the absolute trust and sacrifice the horse is offering us by getting into that trailer.
Just because we view it as a necessary skill doesn’t mean that the horse understands it.
Nor does it justify anger, frustration or roughness in the event the horse doesn’t want to load.
So be patient.
Be more rewarding.
We are asking them of something that goes against ever fibre of their being and deliberately asks them to do something that makes them feel unsafe.
We need to be more grateful of what horses are willing to do for us and more understanding of why they say no when they do.

🌞🌑 Happy Solar Eclipse Monday, riders! 🌑🌞
Today marks a celestial spectacle as the sun and moon dance in perfect harmony, creating a breathtaking solar eclipse. 🌟 At Sunstate Riding Academy, we believe in embracing the wonders of nature, both on and off the saddle. 🐴✨
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with your horse, fellow riders, and the universe itself. 🌠 🌟🐎
Solar Eclipse April 8, 2024
🌑 Waiting for the Eclipse... 🌞
During solar eclipses, domesticated animals like dogs and horses, as well as exotic zoo animals such as baboons and flamingos, tend to become silent and still. They may cluster together and remain vigilant. Horses, being sensitive creatures, can also exhibit restlessness, shaking their heads and tails. Some may even stop moving or display extreme behaviors. In summary, while horses may not fully comprehend the cosmic event, their reactions during a solar eclipse can range from restlessness to stillness.
🌧️☁️ Wow, Mother Nature sure knows how to put on a show! 😍 Despite the stormy clouds and rainy days, we're still horsin' around here at the barn! 🐴 Check out these breathtaking shots of today's dramatic skies – a perfect backdrop for our four-legged friends! 📸 Don't let a little rain dampen your spirits, there's beauty in every weather! 🌈 🐎✨🌦️
🌟 Dust off those show boots and feel the thrill of the ring once more! Huge thanks to Four Reel Farms for an unforgettable show experience! 🐴✨

🌟 In Loving Memory of Chip the Goat 🌟
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved SSRA friend, Chip the goat. Chip brought joy and laughter to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Sadly, he battled a medical condition that couldn't be fixed, and he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge.
Chip's playful spirit and quirky nature touched our lives in so many ways. His presence will be deeply missed at the stables and in our hearts. Let's remember the fond memories we shared with him and the happiness he brought into our lives.
If you have any pictures of Chip, please share them with us here on this post to celebrate his life and the joy he brought to us all. 🐐💔
