I groomed Magic, did two minutes work on the lunge (lead) line, went to the trailer and Magic loaded like he was eager to get into the trailer. He walked in without me clucking or anything. I stayed on the ground and threw the lead line across his back. It is like it is a different world. We loaded two more times. I just walked him up to the trailer, he would look down to check the footing, and then just walk in. The only difference between this pleasant experience and the two hours of hell we endured Friday is six inches. It is not like my trailer is real high. Lots of other horses have loaded with no noticeable problem. We will keep on doing this for several days.
