Getting really down in the dumps about my yearling. The first time she travelled was at 6 weeks old, she didnt have a bad experience. She then missed a show cos I didnt think she was well and then missed her last because she rooted to the spot and would not go in (wouldnt go with mum, couldnt lift her, all the usual). started practising her and could get her in straight from a stable, travelled her a couple of times like this.
have started with her again this year and she is really scared of the ramp, have got her standing on the ramp comin from a block of stables but she wont walk right in yet. she seems scared of the headroom to an extent. she's going into a double ifor with no partition. she's currently over 15.1 and giraffe like so she's going to grow out of the trailer.
trying to be very gentle with her and its obvious wen she's scared or stubborn. im hoping she'll just ease herself in. i don't want to break her temper as she is the type that you easily could, just now she's taking confidence from me.
its just getting me down now, there's no way she'll get to first show on 5th june. really need her going in for the highland show as entries have cost me a fortune apart from anythin else. really wanted her to go to futurity this year too.
any more suggestions etc?
