Re: [RC] getting in trailer - Sonshine575

What worked for me?  Tying a long rope onto her halter, running it through the front of the trailer somehow, but to my hand, and then walking behind and around the backside of her to her other side.  The rope would pull against her butt.  When she pulled back, she tighten the rope in 2 places: behind her butt keeping her from backing any more and on her halter pulling her forward.    After doing that many times, she started walking in the trailer when she felt the rope against her butt.  Now she walks in when she feels it pull on her halter.  It has taken a long time, but is worth it.
