Re: [RC] different trailer issue - Don Huston

On horses that approach the trailer just fine but stop and stand looking in it sometimes helps to just lift and set a front hoof inside the trailer and then wait and the horse will decide to get in. Maybe the reverse procedure will work. Try to pick up and set a rear hoof outside the trailer?

Does your trailer have a rubber bumper across the back to prevent leg injury? Very important IMHO.

And he backs well under other circumstances? I think I'd do what Pat Parelli calls the yo yo game and I always think of as the cha cha cha. I have Hunter step forward and backward for varying numbers of steps, sort of like dance partners.


If he's doing that well, I wonder if you could find other places to back him that would require him to step down a level? We don't have curbs here of course, but something like curbing? A landscape feature, railroad ties?
