I have a 2000 Cherokee 3 horse with a 6' shortwall living quarter and no midtack. I have no blanket bars in the trailer and no room to install one in the rear tack. A local Cherokee dealer is telling me that they routinely install a blanket bar the whole length of the horse trailer about three inches from the ceiling along the butt wall where there is currently removeable plexiglass panels. Any one have any pros or cons on this construction. Appreciate it!

I'm kinda looking at this same option. I hate to reduce the airflow. And my horse compartment lights are inthe same area. But I would like to get my blankets up off the flow. I currently stack them under my saddles in the rear tack.

If you don't have a walk-thru from the dressing room to the back of the trailer you can have a blanket bar built that will mount up high on the slant wall (in the horse area). This works really well if you are using your front stall for storage. You can still use the stall to haul a horse but he will need to be pretty broke so the blankets moving a little bit don't bother him.

I have one of those on my slant wall in the first stall, about 4' long. Has been a life saver for hanging bridle bags, boot bag, and garment bag. I use the first stall for storage and sure is nice to have. I think I would rather have one on the slant wall versus the curb side wall.
