I think someone like Monty Roberts would be a good idea, I had a horse that was terrified of trailers and refused to load, hired a guy like Monty and that horse not only loaded, but never hesitated again, sometimes the more you fight them, the worse they become and they start to anticipate the ordeal, he needs a big step back before they ruin him forever, you can change their perceptions of their fear, but you need someone with this type of experience if you don't want him to continually be manhandled into the gate .
