First we did desensitizing, then when she stopped trying to throw herself to the ground, we opened up the full trailer to be a box stall and let her decide how to ride in the trailer, then we put the divider up, then tied her and finally determined that she liked to ride on the right side. Took about 3-4 months and I never had a problem trailering her after that.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654844759908380330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473818481772038752.post-14435911770162137112021-03-24T13:29:01.569-04:002021-03-24T13:29:01.569-04:00Hi Suzanne,

It seems that she has a very similar problem to the one Sugar had- she loads fine but panicks once she gets closed in there and we start moving. Like total frantic panicking. Did you ever manage to resolve Sugar's trailering issue? I would love to hear any insight you might have. Thanks so much.Adriananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473818481772038752.post-81716335333911759932014-01-14T21:51:02.779-05:002014-01-14T21:51:02.779-05:00Your comments on this situation mean a lot to me. ...Your comments on this situation mean a lot to me.

It instantly conjures up every worst case scenario you can think of...and you're often away from home and you have to drive somewhere to fix it...and ugh. I feel your pain. I have hauled a scrambler before and even the memory of it makes the pit drop out of my stomach.<br /><br />I wish you a swift, straightforward resolution to Sugar's problems!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473818481772038752.post-9610942507760295222014-01-14T10:25:48.577-05:002014-01-14T10:25:48.577-05:00My horse William also did this when I first starte...My horse William also did this when I first started trailering him. It is scary, I know exactly what you are describing.<br /><br />I fed him breakfast and dinner on the trailer, and had to drug him lightly for the first few trailer rides and he eventually got over it. My advice is to start taking her for 5 or 10 minute rides around the block a few times a week so she can become accustomed, if not bored with her trailer rides. You wont be far from home and it will be safer that way.<br /><br />I hope you guys can get through this!Boss Mare Eventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039910692009593158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473818481772038752.post-38943327232548074002014-01-14T08:58:00.788-05:002014-01-14T08:58:00.788-05:00Any kind of trailering problems are the worst.
