Help. This is not "endurance specific", but I value your opinion. I
have this wonderful gelding. Loads great. Walks off trailer if you
turn him around and lead out head first. Will not, however, back off
the trailer.

I have a Gore, three horse slant load trailer with permanent rear tack.
It is a step not a ramp. So far, I have tried front feet first and then
out. Backing in hand over logs, down hill. etc. He backs right up to
the edge and when his rear foot touches the rubber guard. It's back up
to the first stall.

Now, I feel the temper starting to rise. Could really use your
suggestions. Please e mail me privately, if this isn't a subject
suitable for discussion. Thanks a million, Julie and Miada.
