I had taken him to Catherine trailer before and he got in and then ran back out a couple of times and I just let it be.
This week weather was so nice, I just sat with him and let him eat grass.
Then one night I started to load him, tried to send him in the trailer and that didn't work, then sent in through the side of the trailer both ways and he did it nicely. Started with the sitck and he still didn't want to go in alone. Finally just got him and asked him to load. He needed to be rubbed and told he was a good boy. I Finally went back outside and he was getting very upset and started jumping up in the air and running backwards. I kept my cool and asked him to go forward and rewarded him each time he took a step forwarad towards the trailer. One time he raised his right front leg very high and just pawed and then looked over at me and wanted to come to me. I told him I knew it was a big step, but he could do it. (I just loved how he was commuicating to me) Such a sweet boy.
Finally he put two front feet in and then jumped back out. He did this several times and finally came all the way in and ran out fast backwards. Then I got him in and we stood together and he was being very careful. I rubbed him with the stick and it was a good try for us both.
He really learns quick and wants to please me. Love this little guy
