A horse loading apparatus comprises a waist belt 22 and neck belt 24 that are arranged about the barrel 26 and neck 28 of the horse 29 respectively. A rope 30 is arranged to extend from an anchor 32 on one side of an entrance 34, through a ring 36 on one side of the neck belt, through a ring 38 on one side of the waist belt, around the horse's hind quarters 40, through a ring 42 on the other side of the waist belt, through a ring 44 on the other side of the neck belt, and to a second anchor 46 on the other side of the entrance. Spools 47, 48 apply tension to the rope. A first portion of the rope 10 applies pressure to the hind quarters of the horse causing the horse to move forwardly. As the horse moves, the spools reel in the rope causing second and third portions of the rope to remain suspended and also continuing to cause pressure to be applied by the first portion of the rope to the hind quarters of the horse. As such the horse can be easily loaded through the entrance. |
