That\'s a real leap to assume refusing to load is associated with Equipoise, especially when the horse would be tested for same.
Who knows. You\'d have to know the horse alot better than I do (I know nothing about his barn/schooling temperment/shipping experience to SA, trailering and gate history, etc). He had no intention of going in once he got to the gate area, then it just got worse. Sometimes they just get a bug up their azz for no reason we can tell, even experienced horses. They are horses. That\'s what they do.
