Has anyone done it, how easy is it? I have a 3.5 van conversion and my pony travels really well in it. In the warmer weather he does get warm though (he is quite a warm pony anyway) I have both windows open but thought about fitting a fan in his area that could stay on whilst travelling. Any ideas how I could go about it please?

Search for 12v fan on Ebay. I've seen it done in dog trailers. Not difficult.

Here are some wind activated ones for when travelling.

Being a skin flint, I'd get a blower off a scrap car and get a sheet metal work shop to make up a housing, then pop rivet it to the inside of the trailer with a vent to the outside. Get an auto electrician to fix up the wiring.
