Did you try switching sides? Often a horse will scramble when loaded on one
side but not the other. If not, slant load should do it. I hauled my
gelding, a dream to haul, with a horse that freaked out mid trip. Ever since
then he freaked when hauled on the left. I still have my 2 horse inline, but
swung over the divider so he has no divider to lean on and can stand slant.
If I haul 2 horses I swing the divider back and haul him on the right, the
other horse on the left. I had butt bars made for the trailer that I can use
when the divider is out to keep him from sitting on the back door. I've been
hauling this way for years now without problem. With the divider over you
never even know he's in there, just like before I did a favor and hauled a
strangers strange horse from a ride. I should have known - something weird
when someone gets to a ride but somehow ends up with no ride from. Should
have figured something wrong...<wry g>

BTW - Getting ready to order a new 2 horse slant trailer. <g>
