I have a two horse gooseneck slant load with a very small living quarters and want to put a stud wall between the two stallsso that I can use the first stall for hay/feed/buckets storage in transit. I'm not really wanting a stud wall to keep horses from kicking each other. We don't have any trailer dealership in the immediate area and trying to figure out how to get one. My husband nor myself are really handy with building such things...so any ideas on what to do?

Check the forum history on this website... Both Gard and Retento have posted how to make a stud divider out of a spare stall mat... I think they just screwed eyebolts into the edge of a section of stall mat cut to fit and hung it from hooks or eyebolts (maybe using double-edge snaps?) inserted into to stall divider.

If you're not real handy with power tools, I'd suggest taking it to your local welding shop, farm equipment repair shop, carpenter shop, RV dealer, etc. and have a custom divider installed.... Check out these threads... It may be easier to "do it yourself", than you think!!

Hey thanks for the info....i spoke with Exiss mfg today and it would be over $600 to get the stud panel and bolts shipped so I am definitely going to find a welding shop and try something else. I also talked to an Exiss dealer in ARkansas that said they installed a plywood stud panel for a customer and it was less than $100 total. I'm liking that idea better. Will pursue something once i thaw out!

We used the stall mat. Drilled holes in the divider and holes in the stall mat. Used S fasteners to hang them. Hubby not overly handy and completed the task with no problem. All we used the divider for was extra storage when only hauling 3 horses in our 4 horses. Cost us about $40.

I needed one last summer when I was needing to haul a freezer of beef across the country in the front stall & my mare in the 2nd. The one the trailer mfg had was expensive enough but to ship it was crazy. Went to a local welder/fabricator & his price wasn't much better. So we used OSB board & make one. It worked great & I still have it in the trailer since it worked so nicely.

thanks for the links...however i have been in touch with the manufacturer of the "stall divider pads" sold on Ebay and other websites and this type of divider is not meant for the purpose i am looking for...such as keeping buckets, hay bales and miscel tack from sliding under the horse's feet...the pad divider is only meant to protect horse's legs and feet during transport...it could be modified but i am looking for something more sturdy, but not expensive, like from the trailer manuf (quote of $600 plus install)...i am gonna see if my boyfriend can make one from wood, like what's been posted here...

dyarbro901, one time I had a situation like you were describing on a three horse trailer and I just just used a 1/2 or 5/8 inch sheet of plywood. I just put the sheet of plywood inside the trailer, marked right above and below the divider three places along the length of the narrow part of the divider, removed the plywood, drilled my holes, re-insserted the plywood on the non horse side of the divider and strapped it in with the buckles on the non horse side. It worked just fine. I just left it there and didn't take it out until I needed to haul three horses. The down side with this set up is the need to remove for an additional horse, but it just takes minutes to remove.
