It's Not About the Trailer!!!

This morning I had a lovely visit with my grandparents - breakfast at Kappy's was delicious. I ran a few last minute errands for the trip - I am set with Cliff bars, face wash; you know, the necessities!

I am battling putting some weight on Kucha. He has hay in front of him 24/7, gets his energy supplement, and still, no change. Something is gonna have to give!!!

This afternoon, Kucha and I left his dry lot and played some games. He has been pretty worried when he can't see the other two horses in the grass pasture, so I figured moving his feet and asking him to think might get his mind off of it! Falling leaf and snappy canter departures and he was feeling pretty good. I have realized that I have never been able to play with Kucha and trailer loading. Anytime he gets in a trailer, it's because he needs to go somewhere. I quickly realized that it's not about the trailer and practiced squeezing him between me and the side of the trailer, putting his zone 3 at the entrance of the trailer, etc. Pretty soon, I could send him in at a trot! My mom snapped a quick video and it is posted below!
