thanks all and happy Christmas, I will work on a few things over the holidays and see if I can gradually identify what is causing the issue.

Some great information here, Really appreciate all responses, I may give here a break form the jeep for a while and try walk her locally. we have two jeeps x3 and outlander, not exactly high vehicles, and we have tried putting down the back seats previously and opening the rear door to get her...

thanks for reply, we have tried putting a lead on her but she will just play dead and not move when she knows she's going in the car, what we have to do is have the boot open and pick her up in a comfortable place away form the jeep and then lift her into the jeep. If she knows she's going she...

Thanks for the reply, Im really interested to know what you mean by ruling out a pain response? I'm certain she isn't physically in any pain in relation to jumping running ect getting into the car / jeep . she can run up stairs , jump up on platforms over obstacles 3-4 foot high with no...

Good info there, may be useful sometimes to have a lock on the trailer if your storing stuff in the back while out on the horse such as rugs wellies, bits and bobs, but usually your not too far away and nothing too valuable. I suppose a lock may put someone having a look!

Thanks , I may try this too, she doesn't mind going into her crate, so it may be an easier way to put her in the crate first and then into the car.

Thanks, I can try feeding her closer or in the car, I have tried her favourite treats previously but to no avail!

I have considered this, she could well have car sickness but she doesn't physically get sick or pee or poo in the car,

I have considered this, and I don't think its a pain issue, she jumps out no problem and can run up and down stairs inside with no issues, she was at the vet last week for her booster vacciences and he checked her over too and found no issues!

Hi all, We got a collie who refuses to get into the boot of the jeep/or the seats. This has been like this since we got her as a pup. When ever we go somewhere she runs away and cowers down . You end up having to pick her up and put her into the jeep. She tends to nip at you when you try to...

Hi there, not sure what you mean about securing the ramp? is it for when its lifted up ? there is usually a latch with a pin to stop it loosening. Great idea for the camera, I'm sure you can pick some up cheap on amazon, and there may be a way that it could be connected into the jeeps...

Nice to get a wave when allowing rider necessary room and time, but I wouldn't expect it either! I think some people just love moaning about things that may slow down their car journey, be that, walkers, cyclists, tractors , horse riders ! Need to try and educate the wider society away form...

Terrible news, you never think that something like that can happen so easily. Sincere condolences to family and friends .

Sad to hear about the incident but good to spread awareness.Unfortunately with the increased warmer temperatures and low water levels were seeing over the past few years algal blooms are going to become more prevalent . Thanks for sharing ?

Wouldn’t be too familiar with smaller tractors / toppers but something like this may be good … We use a fully offset 9ft topper but it’s on a larger tractor (100hp) the offset is good as your not crossing the grass with the wheel before cutting it,resulting in a better cut. The one in the...
