If she is not use to stepping up you need to work on that frist. Get her to spet up out in open and then go back to the trailer.

Hi everyone...I wanted to say thank you to everyone 1st of all.Well it turns out she was morely afraid of the ramp as it has black matting on it.. we just did our stalls over w/stall matts,turns out she was afraid of those as well,so what I did letting her know not to be afraid of em.I dragged a matt outside slowly introduced her & excepts the matt now....Too funny..She loads great with no probs..It was all about the matt...

Again Thank you Everyone..

LOL, maybe I should try that with the clydemonster! I know he doesn't like the ramp, but it is also black . . .

Try putting some shavings on it so he doesn't think it is a black hole that will swallow him up! Worked for mine!
