Hi, here is on old trick that we used when we were kids, and would get a hirse that wouldn't load. It does take patience and time, but is well worth the effort. If you possibly can, put the trailer in the horses pasture, and feed her in it for as long as it takes to get over the fear. No hauling or tying her up or anything. If it is a two horse trailer and you can, try taking out the divider to make it roomier. Otherwise, just put the grain in and let her know that it is there, but make her "load" herself if she ants the grain. It may take a couple days just to get her to go for the grain. You can start with a little just inside the door, and keep progressing gradually as she becomes more comfortable, until she is finally stepping in the trailer to eat. If she balks, don't be impatient, just go back a step and try it from there again. Let me know how it turns out. Hope the idea helps. Good Luck.
