Well,
just one year ago I consulted the community and got very positive feedback on this horse trailer, and I bought one new from the German dealership. I promised to report my experience after one year, so here it is:
First of all the trailer is extremely solid. Very well built. And what is even more important: the horse loves it. After struggling to make the horse feel comfortable in other trailers, it does not make any trouble entering the trailer. I assume that the trailer has a lto of light inside due to windows, white interior panels and a large front access ramp. Also the sides are vertical up to the roof and the inside doesn´t look like a dark cave from the outside. Sometimes during a tournament we leave him (the horse) for two hours in the trailer and he does not show any signs of anxiousness at all.
The build quality is very good. After one year the trailer does nardly show any signs of use, no corrosion, nothing broken or torn. Everything works like new. There are especially no issues with the plastic attachments like hinges etc. which are easy to operate and not sticking.
The only point is that lifting the ramps is quite a heavy work because the gas springs do not support the first meter of the lifting action too much. It seems that the kinematics of the springs is still subject to development. Apart from that, the handling is very pleasant. Sometimes it feels more like rugged agricultural equipment and not like any high-tech sophisticated gadget, but that is just what I need for that purpose.
Cleaning the trailer after use is easy, driving is always safe. Remember that it is a bit more heavy (total max. weight 2.8 tons) and bulky than other streamlined trailers, so that a big tow car really helps moving it.
So far we are very happy with the trailer. Best buy 2015.
