[RC] [Guest] Hauling with heads out windows - Ridecamp ModeratorJessica Spoone jspoone@xxxxxxxxxxxxAm I the only one with a window setup like this? Its very safe and the horses have plenty of air flow. My windows have 2 drops down pieces. The first (outside) is a tinted safety glass window that has a sliding piece in it with a screen behind it. The second section (inner) is vertical metal bars. The horses can press their noses right up to the bars but can't get anymore than a wiggling lip out of it. It allows for as much air flow as an open window but they can't get their heads or any part out so safety is there as well. My trailer is a Double D and was made in Pink Hill, NC. I do fully open my windows when traveling but only when we are completely stopped (such as a rest area) and I make sure I park with their open side on an "edge" (overhanging a non traffic area). I also make sure I put their bars back up or have somebody stay with them if I have to walk away for any reason. One other precaution I take when traveling is if it is hot out and I have just the bars up I make sure to put fly masks on to try and filter out at least some of the debris that gets kicked up. I know it doesn't catch everything but at least it helps with rocks and such.
