RE: [RC] stock trailer - Nancy SturmNina's suggestion is what worked for me -and I hadn't really even thought of it. I just needed to haul ol' Steady Eddie and Nervous Nellie to the same place at the same time. The nervous-in-the-trailer horse took great comfort from his buddy and hauled like a champ.

Even if you have to "rent" it. Check around in your area for other endurance riders, or at stables who have older steady horses who could use the entertainment of a ride in a trailer. You'll have to make this a "program" that you are working on with your horse. I bought a 3 yr old Morab who was very nervous in my 3 horse slant which has the dividers removed. After trailering her with my been-there, done-that horse several times, she has really settled down. I can now take her alone in the trailer, and even stop for lunch. She will just look around and munch on hay until I get back. No sweating, no pawing, no fuss. It will take some time. But a calm horse will teach her more, faster, and painlessly, rather than her having to figure it out on her own.
