Trailer Loading... Help!

Okay, so today we were suppose to be taking Breeze over to my boss's farm. Did not happen. Breeze has only been in a trailer once before, and it was kind of traumatizing for her, but today, after about an hour, she was going in it nice and calmly.

The problem you may ask?

The trailer is a 3 horse slant load, meaning she has to be on a slant to be able to close the divider. Every time she gets in, she loads straight, will turn around, but doesn't move her butt over far enough for the divider. Every time we try and either close it and shove her butt over, or just shove her butt over without the divider, she backs up and gets nervous...

I need ideas!!! We are trying again tomorrow, so this is urgent! We were trying to get her in and over for 2.5-3 hours today.

Help!

Thanks! Breeze has settled in nicely, we actually had her playing with 3 of the horses in the big arena today, and by herself in the arena today and she was great, by herself she had a great time, running, bucking, doing a few sliding stops and quick turns... then when we put the 3 others in with her they were all just following her around... here is a picture!
