I used to have four, nice haybags in my trailer. Then I loaned the
trailer, with four, nice haybags, to Tamara so she could pickup some
horses (including a roudy stallion) in North Dakota. At the end of
that trip I had one, nice haybag; one damaged haybag; and some scrap
nylon and fittings. :-)

I fully concur that the bags are better than the nets, but sometimes I
wonder if a stragegically placed net might not be a fine Darwinian
device to advace the cause of equine, dare I say it, evolution?!?!?!
