They described the training way to do it. Time and persistence. I had a trailer backed up to the round pen and spent over two hours trying to load one time. By then it was too late to go on the trail ride.
If you have to absolutely load her to go to the vet or something, I back up to a gate. Between using the door and a horse panel on the sides, then get her close with the gate open and use the swinging gate to slowly and gently herd her to the trailer. If no gate around, then use 3 or 4 panels hooked to the end of the trailer to hold her close. Then gradually begin squeezing them into a squeeze chute. She will decide it is better to be on the trailer than being squeezed in. I have brackets on the sides of the trailers for carrying panels on the sides if I need to.

A lot depends upon the horse but I don't use a lead rope in the trailer anymore. For the one horse, I tie the rope to the halter and don't use a snap when leading in an area where he may get claustrophobic. I have plenty of ropes with broken snaps.
