Hold the presses, alert the media....Rio SELF loaded today - TWICE!!!! :smilieparty
My neighbor once described him as the WORST horse she has EVER tried to teach to get on a trailer. He has run me down, stomped on me, thrown himself off....you name it - he has tried it. He was TERRIFIED of the trailer. But after a long summer of working with him (lots of help from friends and neighbors) - well - I think we've made it.

Granted Incendio was on 1st when he self loaded, and I am not sure he will do it by himself yet, but you have NO idea how far we have come.

Great job Terry. Ray Hunt says if you can train a horse to load in a trailer, you can train one to do anything. Great job!!!
