I don’t think there’s much that’s more aggravating than having a horse that won’t load, expecially at a busy location with lots of people watching.

Oh I agree, and I also know that it's easy to sit on the side lines and be saying that person X should be doing A B or C. Another problem that she had was that her helpers weren't really helping. They were just sitting and watching. I don't think that they wanted to get in the way of a flying horse's back end.

Yeah, sometimes it’s hard to know whether to help or not. With my oldest horse, having a stranger behind him just made him worse, but then some horses just need a nudge from behind and they’ll hop right in. Speaking of my oldest horse, I need to take TheNewTrailer down to the barn sometime when I’ve got nothing else to do and work with him on loading into it, coz I’m sure that he’ll balk until he gets used to it. I’d just like to know that he’ll get into it when I need him to, just in case I need to take him to the vet or something. I do have another, larger trailer that he will get into, but I want him to be able to load into this one too.
