Re: [RC] Twitch for loading - Typef

Ok ... I saw mention of Quietex the other day and went in search for it and
all I could find was a human quit-smoking drug. Any comments?

I'm looking because I have a mare that's a joy to ride but get so extremely
nervous in the trailer that even after a 10 minute ride she comes out
dripping in sweat. So far, we're taking 10-minute rides to a nearby stables
and last week a 45-minute ride to a nearby conditioning trail. However, the
closest endurance ride to me is 2 hours and can just envision what she's
going to be like by the time we get there.

I'll take any and all comments!!!

Hi Amanda
The twitch in the trailer sounds like an accident waiting to happen. I 
would just put the trailer in his pasture or back it to his paddock and 
put his food in it for a while so that he learns it is a good place to 
be. Much easier on you and him and safer.
Good luck
Bette

  I recently posted re: my troublesome TWH gelding who walks
right one the trailer but backs right off if I leave his head. 
The recent posts have made me wonder if it is wortwhile trying a
twitch to teach him to stand still once loaded?  I have seen
twitches which are designed to be attached to a cross tie so it
does not have to be held on to.  My objective here is to just
get him used to standing on the trailer: no eating, no backing
off: just stand.  Also was wondering of Ace or quietex might
help him not be quite so nervous while on the trailer.

Thoughts?
