One of the most common issues we come across is horses that haven’t been correctly taught to trailer load or box load.  
Horses that won’t lead or pull off.  
Not standing still, rushing when leading out to the field or go through gateways. Even if this a problem you only experience when you are at shows, it is still actually a problem that needs to be solved at your home yard or stables. It is often due to a lack of leadership in the way a horse will understand and this becomes a lack of trust.
