My new horse trailer has a stud divider. I've never had one in a traielr before. This divider comes almost to the floor. Maybe 1" clearance off floor.

I've always put wood shavings in my trailers. Usually 4-5" of shavings.  Pick out the apples once a week and new shavings every month.

With this stud divider I can't pile the shavings in very deep. In fact it pretty much sweeps everything back as I open the divider and pushes it up against the front wall. So are other stud walls as close to the floor? What do you do?

Thanks for the reply.

I could remove it. But it's got springs under tension that help close the panel. I'd need a special tensioning tool to reinstall the panel. So it's not something you easily pop in and out.

I know a lot of folks use the 1st stall as storage. But I haul 4 horse all the time and use all the stalls. So I'd just as soon leave it in.

Probably something I'll just have to live with.
