Jesse Loads!!!

I have so much sympathy for those of you who have horses who do not load easily!!! My Sissy, Dusty Devoe's boy, Dusty, must have had some bad experiences loading/trailering because he is HARD to load. Only his beloved friend Doc Tony can calm him enough to load within 15 minutes!

Dusty...AKA The Dustbuster, Stardust and his trusted friend Doc Tony!!!

However in Dusty's defence, he loaded once for me...1st try. Of course it was after the Pony Cousin Stampede and he wanted to get the hell outa there! LOL Now it is great when Doc Tony is there to help us out...but he can not always be with us when we haul to a ride!

The Dustbuster AKA Star Dust tied to Jesse's Limo on a weekend summer ride! We/He did not have a good loading experience this day!

I am fortunate that Jesse has always been happy to load. Sometimes he stops at the edge and stands there to look inside...I let him. I would want to know what I was stepping up into!

After Jesse looks for a moment, The Desert Rose throws his lead over his neck and says..."Jesse up" and WA LA...

Up goes Jesse's big quarter horse butt! Now the Desert Rose did not go in with him...I will follow and tie him.Damn...Little Lady was so fast we could not get a pre-shot and see the lead rope fly from my hand???

So you ask...is The Desert Rose a magician??? Yes I am!!! LOL No... but I have decided that I do not want to waste my riding time trying to load before and after a ride! My secret???

Yes...I like you all so much, that I will share my secret with you all! Along with the hay bags hanging in the trailer for each horse, The Desert Rose has added Frosted Shredded Wheat in the hay bags!!! Since both Jesse and Little Lady know this, they are more than happy to go anywhere I ask! I have heard too many sad stories about a clinic someone wanted to attend, or a team penning lesson or finally good day for a trail ride...and then have it turn to horse shit cause "someone" would not load!!! I have heard all the trainers words about that, the horse should just load... no tricks needed. I however have never missed a ride because my horse would not load. Just for fun, the Bossman and I shot this video on one of our last rides! Check out the timer on the video!

Yes...30 seconds, but I have to say that I think we can beat that time. You see the Bossman ties the lead up around the trailer and it took him precious seconds to tie Jesse. He tied Little Lady from the outside of the trailer. I however have trailer ties inside and they are so easy I am sure we can cut some time off of the loading process. Next time we ride I will re film and see if we can break the time!

Your Desert Rose!
