[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1426014, member: 16453"] My only tip is to chock up the back of the trailer when trying to load, some don't like the give of the springs when they step on. We had a warmblood mare that used to load OK until she went crazy when my wife was unloading her one day and went down, she never loaded again, we had an expert out to reeducate her but she never stepped on a float again herself. We gave her a change of address and sold her as a broodmare, new owners expert livestock carrier was defeated by her. I ended up loading her on our truck by anaesthetising her and winching her on and let her recover on the back before taking off loose in the back. The only problem then was getting her off at the other end but she eventually got off when left to her own devices. More than one way to skin a cat. Ken [/QUOTE]
