No riding today, we hitched the trailer up on the yard and practiced our loading. I put the travelling boots on as I don't intend to travel them without, and Remys reaction was to plant his feet as if I'd strapped him to the ground. He soon got the hang of them though.
It's been a long time since we did any trailer training and he did his usual, suspicious walk around it, looking inside but not wanting to go in. Many people say it's a no-no to open up the front ramp, but it works for Rem and as soon as we did this he walked straight in. He doesn't try to rush out via the front ramp, he stands pretty calmly, so not a problem. We walked him in and out a few times, then put up the back ramp, closed the partition and closed the front ramp. All fine and calm. Tomorrow we'll try walking him in with the front ramp up.
Bonbon goose-stepped across the yard in her travelling boots, really funny, I wish we'd had the video cam at hand! I didn't expect a problem with her and we didn't have one, she just walked straight in without a second look. We took the same steps as with Remy without a problem and she took it all in her stride.

looking good for planned outings then :)
Hope so, of course we've actually got to start the motor and set off first. LOL
