The first thing you need to find out is what is scaring him. If it is that the horse has had a bad experience with horse trailers, then it will take quite a while before you can get him/her back up to confidence. The thing i find helps is putting a treat, such as carrots, or other forage in the end of the box, see if that persuades him to get in. If he proves to be stubborn, and it isn't a serious importance that you move him right now, then simply a few days, to a couple of weeks building up to getting into the horse box is needed, e.g getting him/her to walk around the trailer for a couple of days, get him/her used to it, then poking his head into it, maybe with you in the trailer, and gradually build him/her into it. It is generally advised to have a head coller on him/her, with a lead rope on, just in case. If all else fails, you can get some sedative from the vets, that worked for me, it was fine after that.

How do you load a stubborn horse on a trailer?
There are many different ways to load a horse onto the trailer. You can either get a horse onto a trailer by force or bribery (which often doesn't work) or you can actually train the horse to go into the trailer. One way, perhaps the most common way, to train a horse to go into a trailer is to work the horse outside the trailer and let him rest inside it. You may have to start with just letting him rest near the trailer, but eventually the horse will get the picture. Another way is to use reverse physicolgy kind of. The idea of this is to lead the horse up to the trailer, and when the horse reaches a point where he subtly tells you he doesn't want to go any further, you back him up, kind of saying "We can go close to the trailer, but we can't go in" and sooner or later, the horse will want to get in the trailer. This works best with very curious horses, and you must be very observant so that you can back up the horse before going past his comfort zone. The first version is your best bet, but every horse is different and some do better with version 2.
