“I am very proud to be a part of Her Majesty’s horse training and her passion for their welfare. I believe she is the leading monarch for the advocacy of horses in the world. She is a thought leader in this field. Her Majesty's horses are trained using the Dually Halter, making a difference in the training of sensitive animals by giving the horse the choice to partner in the training.” ~ Monty
“I communicate with a horse in what I call the Language of Equus; a silent language of gestures that is discernible, predictable and effective. Now you can learn from my videos, audio and notes to help you understand the horse as I do. This language is really quite simple, but simplicity becomes its greatest strength.” ~ Monty
Monty Roberts is a renowned horse trainer known as the man who listens to horses and the original horse whisperer. Monty's horse training instructions are accepted worldwide.
Monty has helped thousands of people globally through his Monty Roberts Online Videos to learn how to Join-Up with horses, training young horses, spooky horses, horses that bite. His mustang , Shy Boy , is his most famous horse.
Join-Up methods help horse and trainer to establish a bond of communication and trust. “You must somehow understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse. What we can do is to create an environment in which he can learn.” ~ Monty
Monty says, “We hear that ‘actions speak louder than words,’ but generally we do not live by it too successfully.” Now Monty has taught thousands of people worldwide how to build trust in animals through our actions and body language.
Monty’s principles really amount to common sense and immense patience. He believes that children and horses have the same behavioral patterns. They are both naturally “flight” animals. "If you frighten them and resort to confrontation, you’ll lose their trust." ~ Monty
"Simple one-on-one reassurances and praise reap long term dividends that can all be undone with the quick slamming of a book on a desk or shouting back." ~ Monty Roberts
"No one of us was born with the right to say 'You must or I'll hurt you' to any other living thing, animal or human". ~ Monty Roberts
"My life's goal is to leave the world a better place than I found it, for horses and for people too". ~ Monty Roberts

I have a horse that is the same way, in my small 2 horse straight load she panics when the door closes if the partition is in, i now have the take the partition out she loads in one side and then turns around and rides in the trailer facing the rear. I can load her in stock trailers and in slant load trailers and she is fine. I truely think she is claustrophobic and i dont know if there is anything you can really do to train that out of them.

Monty has an answer that may fit your horses issue

http://blog.montyroberts.com/?Tag=Loading+and+Transportation

Monty recommends using a stock trailer with no partition and not to tie the horse. I have a trailer that is open like a stock trailer but is a slant load with a partition and since I haul a stallion and a gelding I use the partition for safety reasons. I know my horses are happier in the two horse "stock" trailer than the conventional four horse trailer that we used last year
The difference that I notice is that my two horse trailer is much lighter and brighter inside and horse do not hesitate to loadHope this helps

Cheers

I have never heard of horses getting hauled in a stock trailer. I wouldn't have thought of it
my self, but now Ill remember is I ever have a horse that does the same. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice everyone, I will see if I can get hold of a stock trailer and give her another try in it.

Hey,
I have an old Tb that does the same ever since we changed floats. We just remove the divided and he seems to stand with his feet wide apart. we cant travel him with the divided or another horse because he scrambles I think once then have it in there mind sometime its just easier doing it the way they are least stressed. maybe have you car running and just stand with her by it give her a feed by her lowering her head to eat she is making herself vunverable to preditors she might start to relax once you have done it a couple of time and it important for you to stay clam dont hold her in an special way like she might react just open and shut door while holding her and leave the hood open for her to desensitise to the sound which might help with the traveling problem..
It up to you a a calming natural remedy might help too.

Hope all goes well
