Re: slant load

[Teddy Lancaster <Teddy@runningbear.com>]

I travel 40,000 miles (not 4,000, but 40,000) miles a year...most of it with
horses in the trailer.  In good weather I ALWAYS leave the drop down windows OPEN
and fly masks on the horses.  I have mangers so they can only stick their noses
out.  I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, had a problem doing this....
