Trailer Goal: \u00a0I point, Fancy loads and Fancy Stays in Trailer.<\/p>\n
A human fiddles with trailer, walks into the barn, picks up halter\/lead rope and waits for Fancy to come into the stall.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you crazy, human?\u201d \u00a0Fiddling with trailer and picking up halter means a riding workout in Fancy’s language. \u00a0Fancy exists the stall and waits to see if this is a feeding opportunity. \u00a0\u201cNope, the human holds the halter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Human goes into stall and out into the pasture. \u00a0Fancy walks away about 20 feet. \u00a0Human sighs. \u00a0Fancy turns around and starts walking toward human. \u00a0Human backs up with happy nonverbal body language. \u00a0Whoops, Fancy goes into stall, not directly to human. \u00a0Human goes into stall and has a nonverbal language discussion to ask Fancy to face. \u00a0Happy Human smiles, puts halter on and leads Fancy to trailer. \u00a0Human points, Fancy loads and goes to feed bucket in trailer. \u00a0Fancy eats for a few moments and unloads herself. \u00a0Human catches the rope and asks Fancy to load. \u00a0Fancy obeys. \u00a0Fancy unloads. \u00a0Human points. \u00a0Repeat, repeat, repeat and the sweet spot happens. Fancy stays in trailer and eats.<\/p>\n
Suddenly a load bang comes from the neighbor. \u00a0The neighbors engage in heavy duty gun target practice. \u00a0Fancy tenses and unloads. \u00a0Human leads Fancy to barn and stall, hoping to be able to take off halter without being knocked over by nervous horse. \u00a0Nope, it went fine. \u00a0\u201cUnhaltering\u201d happened and human safely exits stall. \u00a0Target practice stopped and restarted during the afternoon, in tune with occasional rain. \u00a0In the late afternoon, horses were observed walking in pasture near to target practice. \u00a0Fancy has been desensitized to gunfire…with the exception of while being contained inside a trailer!<\/p>\n
