I'm off to a show on Sunday....or supposed to be!....I don't have my own transport but have managed to borrow a trailer from a friend so I could see how my new boy loads only he doesn't!! On Monday I managed to get him in after 2 hours, gave him a treat off loaded him and took him round to try again and he refused to go in again, 45 minutes later he was almost in then shot backwards and then refused to even go more than half in. Tuesday and yesterday he would put his front feet in and then shot backwards.
I have tried food, lunge line, letting him take slow steps, following another horse, opening up the partition and none of it has a made a difference.
Does anyone have an tips or pointers for something that could work? The idea of me getting him was so I could take him out to shows and do things with him that I can no longer do with my mare because of her health and I'm pretty gutted that at the moment
