I'm so proud of my little girl! :clap: She will finally load herself into the lorry.
After she fell over in our old trailer 2.5 years ago (thankfully she was unharmed) she was scared of loading, especially into a trailer. It once took around 3 hours to get her into the trailer after a hunt, and we eventually had to haul and 'lift' her in with 4 people (not that she seemed to mind). We then got the lorry a few months later, which she preferred loading into, but still wasn't 100% about the whole thing, and would still take around 5 - 10 mins to go in without a bucket or lunge line - she would always load, just not immediately.
Anyway, after a lot of practice and patience these past few days, I now have a self-loading pony, who doesn't need a bucket or whip to go in! You just lead her to the ramp and up she goes, into her position and waits for the partition to be closed.
So pleased with her!
