Question

this is the my filly
HI,

 i just bought a foal, this is not my first foal, but it is my first time trailering one. Should i wrap her legs, she will be in the trailer for about 30 min. what should i do to get her ready to get onto trailer? people have told me to start training her to get onto trailer, one problem i cant train her to do that. she is not at my house yet, and i cant get her for a week, she was just weaned 3 weeks ago.so what should i do to get her onto trailer with stressing her out? please help me.
                       thanks

Answer
hi ashley,
wow i didnt know you guys could add pictures that is so cool. she is such a cute looking filly. nice legs too. well when you go to trailer her put splint boots on her or polo wraps. to prepar her for the trailer ride ust walk her upto it let her smell it and walk her away. just get her comfortable with it. just take your time with her and it will all work out. since she leads i dont think you will have a hard time getting her in.
