| They have a reputation for rusting, really fast. At least in the Midwest. |

      Location: Arkansas | Looking at a 2010, hardly used at all. It would be our run around close trailer since the LQ is just too big usually for the close, fast trips. I've looked at prices on HTW and Horseclicks (think that's the name), and he wants considerably less than what is being asked for even older models. If I had unlimited funds (I find that SO funny), it wouldn't be my first choice. . . But wanted to get reliable opinions from y'all. |

If it's in good shape and the price is good I'd buy it. A friend of mine purchased one new, it's probably about 5 years old. She loves hers. No issues that I know of. Is it the best and most high end trailer out there? No but you buy a steel trailer for affordability. JMO |

| We are on our 2nd calico and love them. We upgraded from a 2 horse to a 3 horse and my husband says it will never go anywhere. I can pull that sucker in just about anywhere. Its light, pulls good and Ive even crammed 4 horses in there by opening the wall up. If its in good shape, go for it. |

    Location: MN | I love my Calico. Its been a great little run around trailer for me! I dont haul it in the winters though. Mine is a 2010 and hardly has any rust on it. |

     Location: Oklahoma | I have a little 2-horse slant bumper pull Calico. It's 4 or 5 years old and has very minimal rust on it. Since I'm older now it fits my needs quite well. Pulls wonderfully, nice, roomy tack room. The only thing I would have done differently is to have bought a Calico with drop-down windows. |

      Location: Arkansas | Thanks everyone for replying. . . We did decide to buy it; this way Lula Bell and Chan can get horses to her close by runs without having to worry about getting one of the big trailers out. Or Sean and I can do whatever we want close by too! (It does have the drop down windows!) |
