Pete's Mastered the Trailer


https://youtu.be/Uk5DDRaDPTo

When I went to Willomar Arabians to bring Pete, aka WM Phyre, home,  George and Lynn told me that he had not been in a trailer, they thought that he had been moved to other pastures via trailer, but with further thought on it, he had not been moved.  So, I thought well good thing I came early in the day, this may take a little bit of time.
So we finished up all the paper work and went and got Pete, I was hoping he would be pretty sound minded, and we could kindly trick him into the trailer,,, that usually will work once on a smart horse.. but next time you ask him in,  is going to be a little different story.
True to form,,, Pete is smart, the next time I asked him to go into the trailer,  he was not going to be fooled again..
Pete and I would spend a full trust building week, of approximately 2 to 3 hours a day on willingly accepting the trailer.  But, when he trusts you, he will do anything you ask.
Here he is walking into and backing out of the trailer. <3
