Ha!  I've heard this is an ARAB thing, but very common!  I had one horse
take about six hours to come out!  After trying EVERYTHING here is what
works!  Put a rope around their chest...like a butt rope, only work it
backwards!  Pull the horse by the chest with the rope to come out...kinda
like you are driving him and making him back....works great.
You can squeeze in with them and back them but be careful...sometimes they
step back once and bolt back in.  Whatever you do, do not get them in the
habit of turning around!
Happy Trails!
