==========================================

I too have had trailering issues and received lots of advice. 
So this is what I did.  First someone told me that their horse
settled down in the trailer by do the Parelli (natural horseman)
stuff, which I was already doing.  I do believe that helped her
settle down by making her more obedient period. I put screens 
on the trailer to let her see out.  When she is alone in the two horse slant, I 
tie her but move the divider.  I had her stand tied to the trailer to learn 
patience.  When she was 
alone and kicked I tapped the brakes (and sometimes hard ). I
put shipping boots on which seemed to help (is more reluctant to
pick up her back feet to kick).  Once I was lucky enought to
actually catch her in the act while standing on the fender and was able to 
immediately whack her with the whip(that surprised
her).  I put in rubber matting on the sides of the trailer so
she wouldn't get the "sound" satisifaction and hopefully not
hurt herself.  I haul her alot.  Solved completely -no but
getting much better.
