I bought a IW505 a few months ago but with family illness have just not been able to find the time to use it. My horse travels great in a lorry and is so calm but he has only ever been in a trailer twice about 2 yrs ago and he was nervous. We have had him walking through it and standing to be fed and tonight bless him after about a month of not being in it he went in with the ramps up but he is so nervous. At one point the jockey door which was pushed too so I could get out quick if needed, blew open as I was removing the single breast bar and Im sure he was going to make a dash for it. I panicked, got hubby to lower the front ramp quick and we were out in a shot, before the ramp had even lowered. He did go in again but is jumping at the slightest noise.
What would you do?
Im too scared to put him in and drive off incase he panics. My last horse was a terrible traveller and it really knocked my confidence whereas my old mare was great and we used to go out regular on our own.
Thanks for any advice.
