Location: Ocala, FL | Hello everyone, It is a tough market. Thank you for your welcome. Just a little background so you know. I have lived and breathed horse trailers for the past 20 years. First with Silver Star Trailers for 11 years where I was one of the original three partners. For the last 8 years I was the guy who designed and built Shadow Trailers in Ocala with Mr Pruitt. Things didn't work out. Now I am on my own. The trail of life seams to go in several directions, this one I like. |

Location: Ferndale, Florida | Please tell me the new company's name and how to get my hands on info on your new trailers? I really like my Silver Star though I have minor mod suggestions, and the Shadow. We need more trailers with the horses in mind (ie insulated roof, taller and long trailers, etc...).. |

Location: NH | These new trailers are very well made, and most importantly, the owner and engineer is not only brilliant but has a very good reputation with handling customers both before and after the sale. I have known Tom Dennis since he was at Silver Star- The new Nextrail-HT is a very much improved trailer- the build quality is at least as good as a C&C (now defunct) and his prices are excellent. -Jeffrey Gasperini HORSE TRAILERS DIRECT,LLC Ocala, FL Aiken, SC (And for those who think financing a trailer is difficult, try me. I get 85% approvals.) |

Location: Ottawa, Illinois 61350 | Tom D. - Best of luck to you (you'll need it in the trailer industry). Was you one of the principals of SilverStar; and were they not an off shoot of Sundowner? |

Location: Ocala, FL | Yes I was one of the original principals, and yes we had similarities to Sundowner. No relation to them, just a small competitor. |

| I recently contacted you about building a new 4 horse trailer. After discussing the details with you I was assured I'd get a quote in a week or so. After waiting a week I received nothing and sent a reminder e-mail. Still nothing. I contacted Trail Rider and was treated very well. I purchased a 20' Royal Custom 4 horse LQ. and am waiting for it to be finished. There is a lot to be said for customer service. |

Location: Daytona Beach, FL | Funny thing, no one mentions that both Tom Dennis and Jeffrey Gasperini are both convicted criminals... or that Tom was arrested for stealing from Silver Star...  |
