Well she loads! I spend about 4 hours working with her. I just lunged her behind the trailer and every few minutes we walked up to the back, if she refused to move forward she had to move again, if she took a step back or tried to snatch her head away we backed up across the yard until I was done going backwards not by her choice. It took about 4 hours but she eventually gave in, once she hopped in she got a hand full of peppermints and stood until she cooled off enough for me to feed her, she ate her breakfast (well lunch this day) in the trailer I unloaded her hosed her off an turned her out. I have been loading her in the trailer to eat since then and she walks in like a champ. She will be eating in the trailer for the rest of the week just to keep it going. I don't think she was scared of the trailer she was just being a brat, trying to insist that she was not going to do what was asked of her.
Yes I know I didn't do all the leading work that was suggested but she leads fine I walked her over and around everything I could find on my property but there just isn't enough to work on that to much.
"Michelangelo is reported to have said, in finishing his classic statue of David, that he merely took away everything that was not David. In the same way, if we want to achieve physical and aesthetic balance, we must remove excess aids and motions from our riding, leaving only self-carriage and harmony."—Jim Wofford
