What size are the stalls in your Elite? What do you see rodeo folks doing with stall widths?
I was in Decatur in June and several told me then they were using 36" wide stalls to support the horse more. They seem to like it better than the 40" standard. I have noticed mine move around when stopping to quick with the standard stall on Elite.

I guess mine are what they call 40", but that is measured at the wall on the diagonal and they are only 32" when measured straight across.I know the horses really lean on them to rest. Were you at the roping in Decatur?

Yep on the decatur deal but nothin fancy. Just jackpot at NRS. Women were at a clinic.
I have ordered my next trailer with 36" wide center to center. 4" more narrow than the current. I thought I would try it. Most of my donkeys are 15.3 down. One big fellow I have is 16 hh. All are .25 horses so I dont need anything for a draft pony.

I'm not sure if that was the same roping, but I was at Guthrie, Ok. and then back to OKC, and I was supposed to come back thru Decatur and turn a few for a young guy I've been helping get started. OKC went late and I had to get to Waco, so I didn't make it. On the stalls, 32 inside straight across is plenty for mine and they weigh around 1350.
