My big horse is adamant he's not going to travel in my new lorry.
He's never had travelling or loading problems in the past. Ive had him 3 years and never been anywhere with him except one odd moment when he strode confidently onto our trailer (first and last time)
He had a short travel then i hacked him round the land of his old owners and up their gallop, then home with no problems.
I assumed he just didn't like trailers and he was border line too big for our 505 so i left it at that.
I can get his front legs onto the lorry fairly easily but the second he feels or even hears anything behind him or the leader applies any pressure he reverses out at speed.
Its not essential he travels but would be nice now and then.
He will stand on the ramp for ages and i think maybe its just a waiting game. My O/H however says that ramps are not designed to be stood on for any period of time and I'm going to break it by trying to play nicely with this problem.
When i collected him from his previous owner i marched him straight on a very similar lorry with no hesitation so dont really understand whats gone wrong!
Any idea's? Will the ramp break?! Hes a fair size.
