This is Fearless Frank, a lovely competition horse who had developed a phobia of loading.  These pictures are the result of many hours training, and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Sheila Reed (RA for Gloucestershire & surrounding areas) for coming over to help.  With my roundpen and Sheila's clicker training Frank was able to load to travel to his new home.  These pictures are taken 4 months after that day, and show that Frank hadn't forgotten how easy it was!

                                       Ellie and Rossi; Thank you so much for all your time and expertise and for giving Rossi and me the confidence to go up the ramp!   

Marian with Texas said 'A big thank you - very impressed'

        Kate with Coogan who hadn't loaded for 5 years said 'Fantastic! Coogan now in and out of the box easily & both of us feeling confident'                                          

Penny with Harry said 'Exceptional - put all the books into practice' 

              Joanna and Felix, who hadn't loaded successfully for 6 years said 'Being able to load etc has opened up many new adventures for us'.         

 Di with Bianca proving that not only can they load into my Richardson trailer, but also into Di's refurbished stock trailer.... 

Lucinda with Sam, who was very pleased with himself after conquering his fear of the trailer    

This is Cerian deep in concentration with Abbie 'I feel so much more confident'

Andrea and Farley pictured above leading and loading beautifully.

This is Ruth with Magpie, who make a lovely team, and after a little practice they loaded and unloaded slowly and carefully 'thank you so much for all the encouragement'.

Tip: When leading your horse keep a light float in the rope of at least a metre.  School him lightly so he knows where you want him to walk (with his head beside your shoulder - not infront).  This slight distance will keep you safe and will encourage your horse to respect your space.
