Hi everyone! I'm trailer shopping and have found what I think is the perfect one: 4 star 3 horse gooseneck. There's only one small concern: where the divider latches on wall, it does not lay flush, rather there is a tapered section that sticks out a bit. Has anyone had any issues with horses getting sore/rubbed by something like this? I trailer some large horses on long trips, so I want them as comfortable as possible. Will try to attach photo. Thanks!

I think it should be fine, however I really dont like the dividers that go all the way to the floor they limit air flow and dont allow the horse to move their feet as much

Thanks for response! The solid divider is just in front stall. I don't mind it, as it's nice to have possibility to haul a stallion. There are several at my barn

I would pass on that design. I've seen horses with dead sections of their tails from trailer accidents. In CA I would also be looking for a trailer with stock slats on the hip side or drop down doors for max ventilation.
