Veteran Posts: 125	How do y'all deal with it? I live in the PNW and am looking at a Stock Horse trailer. I really like it but I don't want rain getting into the horse area.

We do have boards we put in the slats when it’s really cold so they don’t have the cold wind in their face.

I really like it but I don't want rain getting into the horse area. What brand is it, do you have a picture? I use to haul in our old gooseneck cattle trailer back in the day that had a canvas top and had another one with a hard top, the canvas toped one had the canvas that went all the way down in the front so the wind and rain didnt hit them in the face and had a wind block, but sides were open so they still got wet from the traffic that pasted us, so then I finally got my closed in horse trailers so much better. Just depends on what type of trailer it is..

You can still get the mats out (if you have any) to let the boards dry. I wouldn't keep shavings in the trailer either, unless you are going to scrape the trailer clean when you're done using it =]
