Interested in a 3 horse slant load bumper pull warmblood trailer. Narrowed down to 2007 Sundowner 727A with 7'6" ceiling never used and 2010 Starlite Freedom Warmblood . I know starlite went out of business but wondering which is better quality construction. It sounds like a lot of current trailers are cutting costs in construction.

Tell us about that 2010 Starlite Freedom Wamblood, never heard of that one before.... The Starlite trailer you may be thinking of was built by "Silver Star" in Ridgeland, South Carolina USA. I have a 3 horse slant "Silver Star Star Lite Supreme" that I will probaby keep forever. The Silver Star company went out of business in 2006. Are you sure it's not a "SILVERLITE" Freedom Warmblood rather than a Starlite...? Not really sure when they closed their doors, if it's a 2010 trailer then it's probably one of the last that they built. Buy the trailer that suits your needs.  http://www.silverlite.com/Horse.html

zomble, I'll vouch for the Silverlite being a top notch trailer. Even though they are out of business, they seem to really hold their value, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Is the Sundowner a "warmblood" or just a tall trailer? If you have one of those long bodies, stall length will be an important factor.
