Unloading the trailer is by
far the scariest part of the trailer ride, especially if you must back out.
This is one of the only times in life when we recommend trusting your human
to the fullest extent.
If you are backing down a
ramp, be sure to trust the ramp. Relax as you calmly walk backwards as you
would on solid ground. Soon all four hoofs will be touching the ground.
Without a ramp you must use
caution. Carefully and slowly step backwards, one hoof behind the other.
When one hoof drops off the edge, take a deep breath and relax; then step the
others out. Often your human will make a warning sound when you are about to
step your first hoof off the edge. Be listening.
Our humans try very hard to
keep us safe during trailer rides. Thank them by trying your hardest to cooperate. Even though the overall trailering experience
may be a nightmare for some, just remember, more than 100 years ago, it was the
other way around! So, just be glad humans pull us now!
That’s our two bits!
