You got that one right, Karen. The operant word here is *TRAIN*
Why do I get the feeling from most of the posts on this subject that
training the horse to step calmly into the trailer and wait patiently while
the dividers are closed and doors closed is such a big deal? Of all the
groups of horse people, I would think that endurance riders would have the
proper training of their horses to travel safely would be a major priority.
Come on, folks,
it's practically a no brainer. Take a little time to train the horses
properly.
That said, I had better borrow a two horse straight load and train my horses
to load. It would be mighty embarrassing to have one of my horses make a
fuss if asked to load into one.
