Oh Diamond, you have nothing to be sorry about. I like that other folks mistype as I do in fact, I've spoken what I realized was totally out of line for a public forum... well probably in real life too. Sometimes I don't have to "inform" folks, even if it is basically repeating back to them what they said! I've been told I have deep insights but honestly I don't any more than anyone else, I just ask or repeat what they themselves have said. But you know, that is really helpful to me when someone does that for me... when I'm ready to hear anyway :-)
I'm sure Peachie will be okay. Ya know, I think she's a lot better off than I used to think... or maybe its that somehow she's better off than she used to be, well yeah, that's a no brainer but what I've noticed is that our training doesn't work and doesn't work and doesn't work until it does?! Anyone else experience that?

Dax is awful to unload, he kinda takes a huge leap and always kicks out in back, I always worry he will kick the back and hurt himself, I started working on him backing up riding out yesterday as I remembered when I sent him for a month of miles the girl told me he couldn't back up, maybe that will help:) Hope all goes good   |

JMO, but I prefer my horse be able to back out of my trailer.
Altho Red could back out, there were times when, if he wanted to,
I would allow him to turn around and come out head first,.,
That was fine UNTIL the day he got stuck in the trailer trying to turn around.
When I trailride near home, I just trailer him with the saddle on,
and he got stuck trying to turn around with my saddle on.
Then it became that he might get turned around, but would tear up my saddle in the process wag finger
We had to stop and regroup and get his mind back on thinking how to back out.
With Zippy, who is a 1000x more sensitive than Red ever was, he just needs one task,., to back out of the trailer.
He knows how to and I prefer it, so i do not vary from the course with him.
Even with slant loads, the first horse (s) have to back out.
With a stock trailer, at least they can see all around them, and be less claustrophobic.
Again, just my personal preference.

I think having a horse learn many skills and ways out of situations is a good thing. I should of practiced going in and backing out with the stock trailer. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea with the two horse, because it sure wasn't. Oh well.
So this coming Sunday is THE day! I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
