Looks like ever day I work with her is a big day. Yesterday was fly spray - great - western saddle - great - driving - lots and lots of work - and trailer loading - it was a start.
This video was after 2 hours of trying to teach her it was ok to turn away from me. She kept ignoring the pressure on the outside rein and tuning to me which wrapped her up in the ropes which triggered kicking and bucking, which lead to the rope under tail, well you can imagine. She is getting more desensitized to the ropes every day. I think I could about tie a rope to each leg and she wouldn't mind.
Then since she did so well at the end of the driving lesson, and the trailer was sitting right there....I worked on that for about 10 minutes and got her on twice. (Hard to take a picture in the middle of training so this is the only proof she was on there)
You've made a LOT of progress with this gal, you should be proud that you're giving her the skills she needs to be wanted.
