LOL...Since I got him I've said Harley is as "near" perfect as I think you can get:). His problem tho, does have to be dealt with. You can't have a barrel horse you can't tie to a trailer.
I'm sure the best thing is just tie him up and let him deal with it. I just wondered if there was someway to make it safe while he's dealing with it.
I've meant to ask you how Winnie was doing. Does she still run in a pasture by herself?

If you have a well-ventilated trailer maybe Harley can just stand in it. That one is going to be tough to fix. I have seen horses get their feet stuck under the trailer when they fell. One of them was on pavement so there was alot of slippage involved, though.
Winnie is doing much better. She runs with the geldings now and has stopped screaming for them when they aren't together. I guess she just needed to get comfortable here.
She does still look around for them when being ridden and that can be annoying.
Boy - maybe someone moved a trailer with him tied to it. Will he ground tie? If it's a stock trailer, leave him in it instead of tied outside. Or weld a couple of hooks on the trailer so you can take panels along and put him in those instead of tied to the trailer. I don't know if he'd eventually get over it if he spent time by the trailer (ground tied or in panels) instead of tied.
