I need some help brainstorming. My young horse got scared once backing off of my horse trailer and he has been coming off very quickly since then. My husband (not super horsey), usually assists with the ramp and putting hand on the horse to keep him from coming off too soon. We changed things where I put lead over his neck and went behind and my husband bribed him with a bit of grain to keep him from backing too soon and that worked well. I’d like to put in a feeder in my two horse straight load so when hauling by myself, I can throw a handful of grain in something and bribe my horse to stay put while I get the ramp and buttbar unfastened.

Is there an easy way to install the square nylon feeders?

Do you think there’s a way to use a regular over fence feeder or some other contraption? (Horse is big so not a lot of room for him to back away from chest bar.
I’m glad that he’s finally settling coming off of the trailer and I’m looking forward to easy trailer trips along again. Thanks in advance for your advice.
