No way am I ever getting in a trailer with a horse!! I have trained mine
from almost zero up to enter the two stall side by side trailer on their own
(food or apples on the shelf) and then I reach through the "head door" and
hook them to the tie rope. They have a halter on of course and the lead
rope is over their back So when I reach the destination I then release the
tie down through the head door and they automatically back out, unless there
is some food left, and I catch the lead rope as they exit. Have never
missed that "catch" either. Horses will almost always stop to see where
they are. Jean Gayle
