I realize that as a new truck & trailer owner I am not qualified to make comparisons. However, I can comment on my first experience hauling my two horses in my new miley 3 horse slant. There is one rear door that opens completely and secures back so one person can load. The dividers also secure to the sides of the trailer so if you are loading one claustrophobic horse there is a big wide door opening and lots of room inside. My two horses hopped in without any issue whatsoever (in the past my arab had a serious issue with loading into a six horse split door trailer). Also, when it comes time to unload both horses were able to walk out the front, which they seem to prefer. I added stabilizer bars (it is a bp) but havent' driven it yet but I am sure this will also make me feel more comfortable. I have no roof vent but as a previous post indicated, this is an option that could be added by the dealer for mininal cost. I just opened the slider window inside the trailer for more ventilation and that seemed sufficient (it is winter here so too much cold air isn't optimal either). In sum, I am very happy with my new miley. Seems to me that maybe it is the fancy extras that add cost to other brands. Maybe not, but cars are like that. Base model vs upgrade features which perhaps not all users require. I am taking my new miley over to a friends house today to try and load her arab mare into it. This mare hates trailers with a passion and it took us almost an hour to get her onto a split door featherlite last friday. We are both curious to see if she will load onto the wider, roomier miley easier. We'll see. Anyways, I am a happy miley customer so far!
