I am the owner of a 16.2 IDxTB 10year old gelding who up until last year was a dream loader...
Last summer on the way to a show he got stuck under the tail bar of my ifor williams 510 trailer after he spooked whilst the second horse was being loaded. I have tried without any sign of improvement over the last year to restore my horses faith in travelinging in the trailer.
He has traveled twice in the last year in a 3tonne lrroy with company but was extremely reluctantant and the whole procress was very stressfull, he has loaded once into the trailer following strong IV sedation also.
I am now asking for the help of anyone who has been in this situation and been able to fix this problem or if anyone knows of a training tacktic or trainer, I have previously tried a natural horsemanship specialist in my local area (Sussex) who did not seem to make much/any progress. I really feel I have tried everything I could think of even opening the inside of the trailer up and standing in it to eat feeds.
Thank You,
Laura
