Horse has always been a bit of a reluctant loader, not frightened - just plants. He had a bad experience in a trailer last Autumn and has refuse to go in one since, understanderbly. Will load in a 3.5 lorry but this we have to hire so not too convenient and last time he went in this refused to get on going home for 45mins. have been practising loading him in YO's big lorry as she would happily take me if she is going somewhere. He has been going on every night to eat his dinner and seems quite calm but I can't get him to move and stand sideways so i can close the partition. I have pushed and shoved, tried moving his feet and flicked his legs with a stick. He either won't move or reverses out. So I wondered if anyone else has any ideas. If you start to move the partition he shoots out. Can't put anything like a lunge line behind him.
