Anybody know where I can buy face nets for my C & C horse trailer that has drop downs but no face guard bars? Probably about any brand would work? Thanks....

I haven't ordered mine yet. I need to though. I have been looking for the ones with zippers but wasn't sure if the zipper is more of a pain than good. Roperchick, How did you order yours? The website you posted is a manufactor, do you have a dealers website for these? Do the zippers hold up pretty good? I was afraid my horses would stick thier heads through while it was unzipped and bust it.

If you go to the home page of the website, there is a list for local dealers, by state, under "find a dealer", if the store doesn't normally carry them, I'll bet they can order them. You might also try the dealer you bought the trailer from, they may carry them.
We've been really happy with the durability of the screens, ours came with our trailer. In 6 years and a lot of miles, we've only had one break and that was done by a friends mare (of course), she ripped the Zipper out with her teeth. I found a new one at a local tack store. My horses push their noses against the screen, but have never damaged them.
We really like the zippered screens, it's so easy to water the horses, when we stop, we unzip the screens all the way, the horses drink and stick there heads out. When we are done, we push their heads back in and zip up the screens. I am carefull to unzip the screens all the way so that the horses don't get tangled up in the screen. World Class Equine seems to make good quality items, in addition to the screens, we have purchased saddle covers, bale bags and trailer corner feeders, everything's been really durable.

I am using the Professional's Choice screens for 3 years now and they hold up really well. I wash them in the washing machine when they are dirty. They are attached with 4 D-Rings from a marine supply and double snaps. Very easy to open and close.

Did they come with the d rings and snaps or is that something you got on your own? I ordered 3 of them, they should be here by the end of the week. I have a rodeo and a barrel race this weekend and I am hoping they go up rather quickly and hassle free? Hopefully it won't be as hot as last weekend, it's not supposed to be but the screens sure will be nice. I am debating whether I should order the other 2 with the zippers? I can just see my horses wrecking them zippers in no time flat though?!?! But I do like to water through the windows. But if the pro choice ones just unsnap they should work the same then, right?
