Walk her around it for however long it takes for her to accept just looking at the trailer again without shying. Gradually get her closer and closer until she settles down about being so close to the trailer. Find her comfort zone and gradually narrow the gap to the trailer.
After she comes close to it and settles down at the sight of it, try to "non chalantly" walk her in, from a distance. If you get a hoof on the ramp and she refuses, let her back off, keep her calm, don't force anything, walk around it a little more, go away from it then back closer to it (repeat step 1) until she's calm again, let her smell the sides, "discover the trailer" etc., get her comfortable again.
Walk her towards it from a distance, try to load again, maybe she will take 2 steps up maybe not, repeat step one again. I've never met a horse I couldn't load after about 20 to 30 minuites of training them to acceot (or re-accept) the trailer, even the worst loaders get it eventually, close to an hour on one I did. After a while most love the refuse of the trailer and jog right in trying to get food and refuge away from their rider.
After you get them traind up, you can just walk them towards the trailer, throw the reins on em and they'll walk right up by themselves. You need to be casual, patient and repeat the patterns as many times as it takes until they become automatic. She needs to re-accept that strange, odd looking what ever it is, thing.
