| I have read a lot of negative things about them on here, but I own a 2 horse slant load bumper pull with front tack, never had any problems. Mine is a simple one though, so a lot less to mess up. lol. My husband used to pull a 3 horse exiss with LQ and liked it fine as well. |

Location: Buffalo, TX | They are entry level trailers...just keep that in mind. If you use a trailer a lot or your horses are hard on one, I would avoid them, but if you are a weekend warrior with nice horses, an Exiss will give you several years of good service...bad resale on them though...I don't give near as much for trade on an entry level brand as I will a Platinum, 4-Star, Elite... |

| IMO no they do not hold up-- little things that are important to the safety of the horses you are hauling break.. |

Location: Desert Land | I bought a 2001 SS 300 3h slant about a year ago. It was in good condition considering my friend is VERY hard on her trailers. I just had a bunch of stupid little things replace...tie rings, rubber around windows, put rubber mats in the tack room instead of carpet, etc. One thing that did get funky with that trailer was she had a horse freak out to epic proporations in the front stall and it messed up the wall between the 1st stall and tack room. I had to have it repaired - and after I did you could not tell that I had it done.
I liked the trailer. It was a good trailer for what I paid for it and I sold it for quite a bit more than I had in to it.

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I bought a 06 Event new. It's held up for me and I've been very happy with it. Its been used since new to haul kids to 4H and HS rodeos and now that they are done it still works great to haul me and my horses to barrel races. My friend bought a Sport a year after I got mine and hers had tons of troubles. |

Location: Jersey Girl | I bought one in October. Its a 2004 3H with 8ft LQ. I haven't camped in it yet but so far I am happy with it. Seems to have held up well over the years. The LQ is like new and everything still works. The only negative (so far) is I don't like how the saddle racks are positioned in the rear tack.
This trailer is what fit our budget and better then the others I had considered like a Bison.
