Re: slant load

Hi, Julie.
    I know horses love having their heads out when they travel, all the
neat smells and sights and sounds, but I have heard of a number of
serious eye injuries from road debris. When   I travel with my
horses, I try to leave enough good air flow without them having
their heads actually out and vulnerable to flying grit and stones,
never mind the occasional June bug, which hits like a bullet!
