10:17 PM, Trailer fun *pictures galore!*
Wednesday, July 7, 2010
Well, some of you might know the horror stories about both of my horses and trailer loading. For those of you who don't, I'll summarize it for ya.
The first day the previous owners tried to load Lady onto the trailer to get her to me, she was to the point that they went through 6 full doses of bute and she was STILL rearing, running backwards and pulling back hard enough to pull the guys off their feet. Day 2, they had no problems.
When Bailey got to me he was frozen, shaking and literally dripping with sweat from everywhere. Like he had been hosed down and it was chilly on that day, as well so I read it as seriously emotional.
So I haven't even thought about a trailer until I felt we had a pretty stable relationship. Here are some pictures of our old, rusty open trailer that I'm introducing first as a toy [Not for hauling them, just for playing.] And you might notice some photos of my assistant teacher who I can proudly load into ANYTHING from 20 feet away. After seeing that, they just couldn't resist coming over to inspect! [; Hope you enjoy!





And just when they thought things couldn't get weirder... *I* loaded *myself* into the trailer!





Isn't that the sweetest face you've ever seen? And of course my wonderful assistant!

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed it! Also, I'd like to share that Lady actually put her foot on the trailer for a few seconds. The big goober... but, that might have had something to do with the random treat she found lurking on the little ramp. Hmmm... wonder how that got there? ;D
