The way he solved the problem was to back up to a dock and let her rip! Well when that horse came charging out of the trailer she got a big suprise and a swim, never had a problem after that. Of course that may not be feasible for you, so you need to make being outside the trailer very uncomfortable. Every time this horse backs out like this back her up make him or her lounge a couple of circles no more than 3 anything you can think of. Then ask the horse to load again and let the trailer be a comfortable place let the horse stand and soak. Then unload and if the fast backing happens again go back to working her keep this same routine up untill your horse backs nicely.
