TheEquine : "If your trailer enables you to unload from the front, simply lower the front ramp, untie the horse, undo the breast strap and lead him out. These types are trailer are probably better for horses that rush out.
Do’s and don’ts
Do
Keep calm and if necessary practice for several days beforehand.
Get moving as soon as the horse is loaded as waiting around can make him restless.
Use a bridle over the headcollar if you need more control.
Seek the assistance of an experienced instructor if you need help.
Don’t
Lose your temper and start shouting or hitting the horse as he will develop negative associations with travelling and be less likely to load in the future.
Be tempted to ride a horse into a trailer
Travel with a horse – this is illegal and very dangerous
Forget to enlist the help of friends who can help with problems"
