Yesterday was trailer lesson day. My goal was to have her stand quietly at the ramp, and even put her feet on it, but not go in.
She did her usual rearing...but my two horses at the same time made it interesting by galloping around and snorting in the pasture! Daisy didn't know if she should pay attention to me or them. So I took advantage of the situation and we worked on paying attention to me and walking to the trailer without rearing. When she did rear, I lunged her.
She finally put it together, stood at the trailer, and I gave her a lot of praise, walked away from the trailer and let her graze to release the pressure. I think she would have gotten on the trailer, but that is not what I was working on.
