Took my boy out in my new trailer today. First ever time he's travelled alone so just went up the road for a hack through the forest and he was excellent on the hack, really chilled and great. The loading however was terrible... Nothing scary, just 30mins at home of being silly; backing up, running off, throwing himself off the ramp sideways. Coming home it took almost an hour to get him in Being harsh gets me no where so it's just softly softly. Got a plan with him having his teas in there for a few weeks and then go out and do it again but I was wondering if anyone has any stories where you can now take your horse out by yourself with the trailer and it be less stressful than today! *sips wine*
What were they like to start with and how are they now? My boy is 7 but was a really late starter due to his past owners so he's got the mind of a 4 year old. Just can't wait for the day to take him to the forest on my own for the afternoon if I had a spare couple of hours... Please assure me it will get easier
