Sports / Fitness / Recreation / Horseboxes | | French term or phrase: bat-flanc | According to the GDT, this is a "Séparation mobile entre deux chevaux à l'attache dans une écurie. (a)
Note(s): Elle évite les batailles entre chevaux."
In my case, it is part of a horsebox but I suppose it's the same term. |

In a horsebox it is just partition. In a trailer it is centre partition because it's in the middle. |
