RE: Spam:****, [RC] traveling west - Debbie ParsonsAnother handy website: http://www.countyfairgrounds.net/ If you want to use fairgrounds, you should check ahead to see if you can stay there because many in the colder states' fairgrounds are in full use this time of the year. I got caught out when I went through WY on the way to the Big Horn. As this was an unplanned event due to the cancellation of Tevis, I had to wing it. Three of the towns with fairgrounds that I planned to stop at had rodeos going on so we ended up parking overnight in a Walmart parking lot! My trailer is 8ft wide and I had removed the divider between the 2nd and 3rd stall so once I untied my horse, he had room to turn around. By that point he had decided that eating and drinking were necessary to survival so he camped fine in the trailer overnight. I have big dropdown windows on both sides so there was plenty of airflow. I think he had as much room in the trailer as he did in the stall at the Rawlins, WY fairgrounds. Not something I want to do again but in a pinch now I know it will work or at least work with Boomer who is a laid back kind of horse.

Also, fairgrounds typically will put up overnight travelers and their horses.
