Haha and at that point my mare would be flipped backwards onto her back. Oh that's before she kicked your head off. It's a good idea until you have a horse smarter then you and knows where to kick or throw it's weight Very good idea though I am sure it will sell fast

hmmmm!!!!!!!!!! Much better to get them to realise that loading isn't a problem any way! What happens when you haven't got 2,4, platoon of people to lift it in? A couple of hours(with a nervous horse, minutes with a novice) confidence building would be a better investment I think!

yeah my horse kicked out at me on his bum and consequently spun and walked off dislocating the lady who was holding his head's shoulder- am fiarly sure this would be a waste of money for anything other than a small ish foal that u can literally shove in that hasnt worked out how to say no yet..

With a small foal two people can lock arms under it's bum anyway without the need for any equipment.
Proper education or if necessary re-education using the pressure/release system and a halter with very long rope for me!

We have no problem loading our Sec D she just walks straight in,our problem is getting her off.A friend of ours brought her home from the sales for us,as I have already said she walked on the lorry no problem,when she got her back to her yard, she jumped off from the top of the lorry with out touching the ramp.We use our trailer after the showing season,so that is all we have traveled her in,she still tries to jump out of the trailer with out touching the ramp.Any tips how we can get around this problem.Must add she travels well.

Try using a long rope and wriggle it under her nose on the ramp to keep her attention, keeping it in front of her as she walks down (hopefully!).

I just put a trail of treats going up the ramp & if they don't like treats, it's carrots

Take the partition out of the trailer and walk her up the front ramp and out the back a few times till she realises the front ramp isn't so scary that she has to jump it. Had on do the same and this worked.
