Location: Hookerton, NC | For those of you that have trailers where the bars drop with the window; how
do you like the heavy thick screens? Are they ever a problem when tying a horse
or getting water to your horses while in the trailer?
Thanks! |

Location: western PA | Make sure you get the kind with zippers, the solid ones are difficult to work around. The screens definitely reduce the amount of strong winds blowing into the horse's faces. They are a welcome addition to our trailers. Gard

Location: Northwest Ohio | Just bought our screens at Congress last fall. Haven't installed them yet. We have drop-downs but I was afraid of traveling with them open due to the possibility of debris or stones flying at the horses. We bought the ones with zippers. We've decided, however, to install them upside down so we can reach the "pull tab" on the zipper to get at the horses from outside. Not tall enough to reach top of the window to pull down the zipper. |

Location: South of Dallas | Screens WITH zippers.... absolute necessity for drop downs. Get them to fit the windows as best as possible (some of them run a little short). Mine are about and 1 1/2 inches too short, top and bottom, but they provide quite a bit of protection. I'm waiting to see pics of one of our other board members who is making theirs. I want to make some in colors....  |

Location: Cowboy Cradle of the Southwest | I am sure this has probably been posted before but I am kinda lazy today. Do you folks have a company that you have found to carry the screens. What kinda money do they get for them. I have been meaning to build my own drop down bars for some time now. This particular project seems to keep getting pushed to the bottom of the honey-do list. Screens would be a fairly quick and simple fix. Thanks |

Location: Ramona, CA | We are a dealership in southern California. We keep the zipper screens in stock. They run $35.50 plus tax each and include the brackets which you install with your own self-tapping screws. The screens have velcro tabs that run through the brackets to hold them on. You can call our service department at our toll-free number (888) 809-8887 and speak with our parts manager, Russ. We will need measurements of your window openings to make sure these screens will fit. If they will not fit your opening, we can have some made specifically for your trailer. We can ship directly to you. Excellent quality and since we began selling them about 10 years ago, we have only heard of one occurrence where a horse destroyed one while trying to jump through the drop down window opening. |

Location: Cowboy Cradle of the Southwest | Thanks for the info. That seems like a reasonable price. I'll have to get some measurements. |

Screens over horse windows?
