Horse Trailer with swing wall dressing room

rebel beck · 05-12-2008, 08:51 PM

I don't know where to put this so I just put it here. I bought a horse trailer yesterday (It was cheap) and I needed one. But what I did not notice is the swing wall in the dressing room does not go all the way to the floor, ( I wanted a solid wall but the price on this trailer I could just not pass it up)
Has anyone got any ideas how I can make this wall solid or at least at the bottom so pee and poop does not make it's way into the dressing room.
It has the swing wall so if you need to have more room you can swing it open.
But I don't need the room, I just want it to be solid.

From what I am understanding, your wall between your horse and drg room doesn't go all the way down, and you don't want urine or poop to get into your drg room ..... How about a rubber mat in the horse area, that you just round it up on the bottom so it is about 1 foot or so up the wall of divider wall ?? Then use shavings, the mat will keep the shavings in the horse stall of the trailer and the shavings will absorb the urine/poop.

You got it! I had thought about the horse mat to, but I'm kinda worried about my mare she will be in that slant and she has a habit of pawing and I'm worried it would be a wreck.
I'm going to put my new mats on the floor in the morning and I will work with them to see if it might work.
