I have been working with my 5year old on loading into our trailer, but I just seem to be taking one big step forward and then 5 back, its so frustrating
Last night we spent about an hour working on it, it got to the point where he would happily walk on and reverse off, eat some of his tea on it, step backwards and forward as requested whilst on the trailer and generally seemed ok. 10 mins later he's gone back to the 'i daren't put more than my front feet on the ramp stage'!! My OH thinks he's taking the mickey, just being stubborn and I should be a bit more forecful with him but I have being trying to keep things all very nice, patient and relaxed.
Anybody elses horse like this, do you think he may be genuinely worried or just taking the P***?
