I too  have heard of a horse or two going thru the windows/and some getting 
stuck too. Never drive with windows down, horses hsve been decapitated by  
semis, bridges, etc. I have seen some people doing that though.Not to  
mention ,bugs and debris in their eyes. A trainer ai know has thema n d 
bought screens and trailers like that , but i always cringed when she did 
that.No screen would stop them if they weere crazy enough to try to go thru 
or even just shove their head through.And one of hers was crazy enough to 
get impaled by a broken broom handle she left in the trailer. Nice horse, 
had to be put down.  uuuugggghhhh. Laurie and Rascal
