[RC] trailer/stall loading unloading re LIGHT - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I'm no expert on trailering,but at night I notice horses sometimes are 
hesitant to load/go from a brightly area into a "black" area.At one of our 
field trial areas,there is a great 70 stall barn.At night the aisles are very 
brightly lit,and the horse must step over an 18" high cinder block wall to get 
into a totally pitch black stall.The first time a horse does it,it helps to go 
in ahead of the horse with a flashlight so the horse knows you're not telling 
him to jump off the edge of a cliff.This might be something to consider re 
trailer loading/unloading.
