Ridecamp: Re: [RC] trailer preferences: stock or 'horse' trailer

Heat concerns me (espec. after this  summer), so I'd assume a stock trailer
would be cooler, given
> the greater ventilation.
            I just bought a stock trailer early this summer---it was closed
completely about 40 inches up---when I asked the dealer about this--thinking
this meant poor ventilation---he said that (at least in Texas) the pavement
radiates a lot of heat upward, and the trailer was made this way especially
to keep that road heat out.
        IMO, a big plus in a stock trailer is the ease with which a horse
loads---my babies right now are "loading" themselves to get to the goody-bag
(a hay net with hay) that's I keep hung in there.
        Another BIG plus, in this particular trailer is the fact that
instead of one large cumbersome back door, it has two smaller doors, that
swing either in or out, and are designed to function so that when they open,
the entire doorway is unencumbered.
