Ok, what seemed to be a nice trip to the vet quickly became a horriable experience. He did not want to reload after the vet did his yearly checkup. Then when I got home, started to unload hin (by myself) he darted out before he was untied, broke the lead rope and gashed his head. I have trailered him a few times in the same trailer. I know how to work with him to load, but what can I do by myself to teach him how to back out like a calm horse instead of a maniac? Luckly I do put a helmet on him, but this really frustrated me. This was my first time solo. I did not want to untie him before the back door was open, because I was afraid of him taking off, so I opened the door first then started to untie him. Any suggestions to make mine and his life easier? Thanks.

Hello. I had this problem with my young horse when we would go to horse shows. What I did was had someone help me by holding him up front with a seperate lead rope while I opened up the back and walked up to him and untied his second lead rope. This way, if he did try to bolt out of the trailer, two people had ahold of a leadrope so he wouldnt get loose. (also consider doing this in an enclosed area just in case he does get loose, like a pasture or something) Then back him up and if he gives any hints that he is going to start booking out, walk him forward if you can. Then once you get him calm, or to where he doesnt want to fly backwards, try backing him up again. Once you get him out nicely, pet him and tell him good-boy. Walk around a little and try again. Do that about 3 times a day until you can go anywhere and hes totally good! Also, try not be frusturated, that only makes things worse and your stress goes right through the lead rope (or reins) and makes them stressed out as well. Hope this helps

Here's where the elemental shaman finds a real dilemma WOW Gold. The Protective Barricade of the Light is a mere ilevel 200, and ideally, you want to grab something better Buy WOW Gold. There's one other shield you can grab pre-raid, and that's the Protector of Frigid Souls out of normal Pit of Saron WOW Power Leveling. The good news is that it's a noticable upgrade over any other shield you can find outside of a raid. The bad news is that it comes loaded with MP5. Oh,Buy Aion Gold and the fact that the only people who seem to run normal Pit of Saron these days are paladins and shaman looking for that very same shield kinda messes with your odds a bit Aion Leveling. When it comes down to it, unless you're going to be off-spec resto, there's no reason for an elemental shaman to waste the time.
