When we got this idea several months ago, I read and re-read the thread on this at that time. Thanks to all who added your ideas and solutions. We ended up getting a cargo van and using it as a gas-saving alternative for one horse hauling. We used chain link gates for the "box" and still had room for the cart and harness, etc. The horse loved his ride home in comfort. We use a handicap ramp on the side for loading/unloading.
The floor is already cushioned so we just placed a tarp down before adding shavings.
