An excerpt from "Trailer Training Horses":
The second method (method "B," where you make "trailering up" the horse's idea) is a simple thing, really. With the left door shut (you'll later stand behind it) and the right door open, approach the trailer with your horse. More often than not, your horse will stall out and refuse to get any closer to the trailer at a certain point, maybe 40 feet away, maybe more, maybe less. That's okay. Don't force the horse to get any closer. He needs to understand that there is a place he can retreat to, that he isn't going to be forced into the trailer (read: die) and that you can be trusted. There in your safe zone, practice the exercises as described yesterday: Ask the horse to trot past you in the figure-8 pattern, ask him to disengage his hips and back up, to move left and right. Really get him moving and the two of you work up a sweat for 10 to 15 minutes.
You'll find that your pattern naturally drifts as you practice - and that you can move him a step or two closer to the trailer. Move the horse in an out of his "comfort zone" more and more, easing him ever closer to the trailer. Don't force things. Many times, forcing the horse is how they got "bad" in the first place. It takes time to un-do that fear and being patient will actually make this go faster. Depending on how much your horse hates the trailer, this could take some time. (rpt)
