Does anybody know anything about Trail Rider Trailers? How well are they constructed? What are they comparable to? Does anyone have one? How have they held up?

Since no one seems to have an opinion I’ll offer my thought...
I’ve seen them, but never been around one up close.
My initial thought is it depends on what you’re wanting to do with it - bop around a couple times a month or are you hauling several times a week, rodeoing hours away, spending a week or more on the road at a time? Just a horse trailer with tack or are you looking at LQ?
They are made in Elkhart, IN - A city known for RV production. Also made in Indiana are Lakota and Bison, Lakota if I’m not mistaken was formed from an RV company. We just traded a brand new Lakota off for a 7 year old Platinum and there are zero comparisons aside from they are both LQ horse trailers. Much heavier construction on the Platinum than the Lakota - my hunch is you’ll find the same on the trail rider. From the pictures on the website the finishing looks pretty low end.
