I'm looking to buy a 2-horse BP to transport my draft-cross horses. I know to make sure it's big enough, but are there certain trailer brands that I should simply stay away from? Thanx, jola@rocketmail.com

Hi, I would highly recommed Adams hores trailers. They are great trailers, and great prices, and are made in VA.

Do a google search for eclipse trailers, you will find many complaints saying that their welds are crappy and literally come apart, sharp points on the trailers, cheaply made. whats even worse is their customer service, they even have a F rating with the better business bureau.

I agree on the Adams.  I had a BP 710A-DR Thorobred model and fits big horses nicely.  They also hold their value around here.  I've since picked up an Excursion GN but paid new for that BP $9200 in 2007 and they gave $8000 trade-in at Delwood-Felton DE location.  I think there's a NC deal also.
