RE: [RC] Shavings in trailer vs. not - Diana Peterson
I have a Exxiss two horse gooseneck trailer..I use the large flaked shavings and under my geldings berlly the pelletts on long hauls.
My horse is never covered in shavings and the hardly flow at all around the trailer. I also wet them slightly ...keeps the dust down.
This works for me :-)

Since you are talking about flooring and trailering, some of you have mentioned shavings. I have not transported with shavings, I would like to but I feel the shavings (at the beginning) would be flying all over, dust getting in the horses eyes and such. Kind of like a dust storm I would imagine. Has anyone ever rode in the back of the trailer to see if this was the case? I know how things blow around in the second seat of the truck when I have the windows open. I am going to have someone drive the truck (whom I trust) while I am in the back and see what happens. I bet each trailer will be different, some might others might not, depending on the design, windows, height, etc.
