Re: [RC] RE:Belsemo that won't load - Kathy MackiNancy,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.
