Marty - three trailers - 29 Jan 2026

Will your horse load in any trailer? Ramp or step up?

Marty is an 8 month old Standardbred weanling colt. Odds are he will harness race and if he does he needs to load and unload very well. So today we practiced loading and unloading from 3 different trailers. One with a ramp. One with a pretty reasonable step up/down. One with a very high step up/down.

"You don't practice until you get it right - you practice until you cannot get it wrong." -Author unknown - believed to be from the 1930-40 era

"In addition to solid foundational training it takes REAL miles actually going somewhere to make a good horse." -Jack Griffes, farrier and horse trainer-

Remember to intentionally, on purpose, learn of God each day by prayerfully reading, studying, and pondering upon God's word each day. Talk to God in prayer as your Heavenly Father who would like for you to be His friend. Find out what He would like you to do for Him as His friend and go and do it for Him as His friend. Yes very intentionally, very much on purpose, become the friend of God. And have a blessed day!!
