Hi,
I have a cob mare who is fine to load at home but can be incredibly difficult to load at shows when coming home.
I'm wondering/assuming it's because she doesn't want to leave the other horses. I've never had a horse that doesn't load before and I always said that I never would so I would really really like to get this problem cracked!
She isn't scared, and once she's on, she's on - you don't hear a peep from her. She is incredibly stubborn and last weekend was the worst she has been. She plants and will do her darndest to swing sideways.
I'm considering finding someone to come out and help - if anyone can recommend someone who covers Cheshire that would be great.
I have a dually headcollar which I will dig out - treats absolutely don't work, she just ignores them.
We tried circling each time I felt resistance which I think started to help but she also decided to throw some moves when she realised she was almost on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as it's not a problem I have ever encountered before!
