I use an old track from a snowmobile. they can be gotten from a sled repair shop for free.cut in two with a sawsall and bolt a chain on with finder washers. they roll up nicely and can be straped to the rig rack for transport.

An old bed spring would work too, but the snowmobile track sounds like its a little better to store when your not using it.

You guys are going to laugh at this one but I really do these two things.

scenario one: I am out hunting lions horseback and like the majority of times I don't find a dang thing, but plan my rout that circles some of the area I plan to hunt the next day. On my way back I will hit a road that runs along the ridges and cut the country pretty good. I will take my saddle rope, and rope a brushy snag, dally around rthe saddle horn and drag the road with my horse back a good long ways.That way if I am coming in that way in the morning I can sickle right along and see if any varmints have come out that night and crossed that drag mark. sort of primitive I admit but at the slow rate of speed that a horse drags it along you can get a pretty good fluff on some of those road sides.

Scenario two: you are really going to laugh at this one.LOL! I have two heavy rubber mats in my horse trailer, and they are about 14 feet long and 3 feet wide. I have them on the floor of the trailer to keep the horses from slipping and also to help when I clean it out. I have punched two holes in the fron of each of these mats. when I am ready to leave out I can really drag the road out by taking the mats out, and hooking them with two poly dog collars to the bumper bar on the rear of the trailer. Spead out about 6 feet wide it really drags the road out nice, and the fringe benefit is you also get all the horse crap out and have a clean trailer when you go home..LOL!
