Trailering does not have to be a stressful or unpredictable battle. Yet for many horse owners, the thought of loading up for a vet visit, show, or emergency brings a knot to the stomach. Whether it is a horse planting its feet, rushing backward, or trembling once inside, horse trailering issues can turn a simple trip into a high-stakes challenge. With over half of owners reporting horse trailer anxiety or refusal, the need for reliable, safe, and repeatable training is clear. Tik Maynard’s new NF+ Masterclass delivers real solutions that work for both horse and rider.
Why Trailering Problems Persist
Many owners treat loading as a single skill instead of the result of groundwork, trust, and communication. This often leads to frustration when a horse resists or becomes unsettled. Problems like a refusal to load, scrambling inside, or backing out too quickly can stem from:
- Past negative experiences or trauma
- Lack of consistent groundwork
- Fear of tight spaces, movement, or noise
- Anxiety from the handler’s own stress
When unaddressed, these horse trailering problems can escalate, making every trip a gamble.
A Better Way to Train
The new Tik Maynard Masterclass addresses the root causes of horse trailer stress instead of focusing only on mechanics. Through step-by-step guidance, Tik shows how to read your horse’s behavior, identify specific fears, and build the communication needed for confident, low-stress loading. His method works for any horse, any trailer, and any situation whether you are a first-time owner or a seasoned competitor.
Key takeaways include:
- Understanding horse psychology to recognize early signs of tension
