soldierof the 82ndAirborne asked:


Will a Belgian draft horse respond to Parreli type training ie… 7 games of horsemanship. Also will a 17-18 hand belgian fit into a 2 horse slant load thurobuilt horse trailer?

    I think that any horse will respond to Parelli Training…might want to start on it young so they are very tame by the time that they are foot crushers. i don’t know about the trailer…you might want to look it up on a draft horse magazine website or ask the breeder what he uses to pull his horses around in.

    A draft horse can be trained to be ridden, we had a Clydesdale when I was a kid. But they are not built for speed or agility. As for the two-horse trailer, highly doubtful!!! It would probably prove to be too short in height & too confining width wise. It could spook the horse & be dangerous for the animal.

    Any horse, including mini’s, will respond to natural horsemanship. I am not sure about the trailer. Good Luck

    Any horse will respond to any type training…it’s all in how you approach them. As for fitting him in the trailer, you might need a crowbar and some crisco to squeeze him in.

    ANY BREED OF HORSE WILL RESPOND TO PARELI AND GETTING A DRAFT HORSE IN A TB TRAILER … MAKE SURE ITS EXTRA TALL I HAVE DRAFT HORSES THAT I TRAIN AND I PUT ONE IN A TB TRAILER AND IT ENOUGH ROOM FOR HER ONLY JUST HE NEEDS TO BE THE ONLY HORSE IN THERE DONT THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A PROB :)

    yes any horse can respond to parelli training no matter their size, i have a pure belgian and a cross that i trained myself. most people get intimidated, but they are not that different ( it will just take you longer to hit the ground if you fall, lol) .
    i really dont think he would fit in the trailer, maybe he could if you try, but he would not be confortable, and that is important especially if its a far ride.
