How do you load a stubborn horse on a trailer?
There are many different ways to load a horse onto the trailer. You can either get a horse onto a trailer by force or bribery (which often doesn't work) or you can actually train the horse to go into the trailer. One way, perhaps the most common way, to train a horse to go into a trailer is to work the horse outside the trailer and let him rest inside it. You may have to start with just letting him rest near the trailer, but eventually the horse will get the picture. Another way is to use reverse physicolgy kind of. The idea of this is to lead the horse up to the trailer, and when the horse reaches a point where he subtly tells you he doesn't want to go any further, you back him up, kind of saying "We can go close to the trailer, but we can't go in" and sooner or later, the horse will want to get in the trailer. This works best with very curious horses, and you must be very observant so that you can back up the horse before going past his comfort zone. The first version is your best bet, but every horse is different and some do better with version 2.

What is the best thing to use when moving a horse?
Use a horse trailer or a horse box. If you have a Thoroughbred off of the track, I would suggest not using a strait-load trailer. They will probably think it is a racing box. Your horse may not like the trailer, if so let him/her sniff it and check it out. Do not use brute force to try to get him/her in the trailer until you have tried everything else. Once you do get him/her in the trailer, reward with praise, affection, and a treat or some hay. Have fun! If you mean a device to lead your horse from place to place, then you are looking for a halter and leadrope. A horse can be led with a bridle, but a bridle is easier to break should your horse spook and jump away than a halter.
