Just a quick post to say that last night Sam loaded up into a horsebox with absolutely no fuss whatsoever! Twice!
This is the pony who previously would not load.Who last time we tried to box ran off down the road and slipped over.The same pony who has only loaded into a trailer in the last year.
Last night the box was left open on the yard so i just took Sam up to it to have a look and a sniff and then with gentle persuasion of a handful of feed,in he trundled.Stood in there for a couple of mins and then unloaded fine.
So i put him back in his stable,made his tea up,placed tea in horsebox and loaded Sam up again! Let him stand eating his feed and then brought him back out and left him in stable with haynet for the night.
I am so so pleased with him.
