...do you have to shovel off your horse trailer? 🤔 About once per season for me. I had thought about it a couple weeks ago, got snow the last week, and thought it prudent, even if not critical. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/oTNPBI1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/QzZuwD6.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vLhqi9v.jpg) Chop into blocks and send over the side. They fell apart upon impact, so not igloo material.

Don't get enough snow here to bother except on the very rare occasion.

Hmmm.... you may have just identified the ONLY good thing about our incessant wind! Snow doesn't stay on a roof long in this part of Wyoming.

It wasn’t “a lot” of snow, but we’ve had some warm weather and rain earlier, so the bottom half of it was fairly dense.

New to horses, so I hadn't even thought of that. They came with the wife; she prolly would have tipped me off had we not had such a mild winter!!

How many tie-downs do you folks need to use?

Tie downs? I don't use any, but it is a good idea here to drop your stabilizers or put jack stands under the corners to keep the wind from rocking your trailer so much it wears flat spots on your wheel bearings. Grin 60ish gusts here today, but at least I don't live over in Red Canyon. 91 mph gust last night.
