Re: [RC] [RC] Trailer manger screen question -- to zip or not? - Raven

now must decide whether to keep the zipper style or not, which has
precisely caused my problems to begin with--anxious horses shoving
their heads against the zippers, stripping them

Hi Beth...I personally would not haul with just a mesh screen over a
window opening. Just my pet peeves. I have seen excatly what you are
worried about.

I much prefer to metal bars and using a fly mask on my ponies.

The one thing to consider with zippered mesh screens is that you would
be able to access your horses from outside during pit stops, etc. <;]

And with summer coming, it's just too hot to close the doors to the
manger windows

I just got my new 2 horse BP trailer...this time I had the horse area
completely insulated (about $900.00 extra). I am hoping that this
helps keep my Icelandic Pony from sweating to death with I'm hauling.
Yep...I do leave the drop down windows down...but he's so hairy,
sometimes he sweats just standing still out in the pasture. HA!

Good luck on deciding which type of screen to order.
