Nancy,

I really think you should take advantage of Paul's offer.  It is very 
generous of him.  I had a horse that I couldn't load.  I even sold my really 
nice two horse and bought a stock trailer.  Same story she still wouldn't go 
in.  One day I made my mind up that she was going in even if it took all 
day.  I had a very long rope with a bull snap on the end.  I could hook it 
to her halter and then run the rope through a window, slat, whatever and 
then stand behind her.  (Don't forget your gloves so that the rope can slide 
if he pulls).  It took me hours but I never lost my temper and just keep 
working with her.  I used a lounge whip (never hit her, just bothered her) 
and finally got her in.  It was almost dark by then so I just took her down 
the road to my friend's house left her stand in the trailer while we had 
coffee and then came home.  The next day I tried again and it took ten 
minutes.  I used that rope for a long time and she never gave me any 
trouble.  She is now my best loader and all I have to do is point her at the 
door.  It turned out that she had "me" convinced that she wouldn't load.

Good Luck,

Kathy
