That'd be true if I had screens...I don't have them. My 3 horse has open sides with sliding plexi windows that I remove in summer. The 2 horse has drop down windows with no screen, so I keep them up and open the slider window in those. Both trailers would allow a fully lit cigarette butt in with no problem, if someone tossed one out their window on the freeway and the wind caught it. That was my worry. I had one come in my car window once, and boy did I pull over in a hurry. That thing was like a pin-ball in a pin-ball machine, bouncing all around the inside of the car.. yeow.
I disagree with your logic; that you don't have bug screens THEREFORE you can't use shavings (because you also have a fear of fire caused by a very unlikely event). There are other good reasons to have bug screens, e.g. "to keep bugs out". I hope you at least have fly masks on your horses to keep bugs and bits of flying grit out of their eyes.
