backing out

the trailer has no ramp it is a step up. the distance that she has to step down is the scary part for her. Sorry should have said that it is a step up.

Oh that makes more sense. It would also make the "pull her out" theory much more dangerous. I'm sure you don't want any broken leg situations. Again you can back it up to a bank so that the step isn't so high, or if you can borrow a trailer with a ramp, teach her to back down a ramp then move on to the step up.
