I have been searching for a slant 4 horse LQ for my two 17+ hand warmbloods.  1 has girth and 1 is long.  I am leaning toward the featherlite 8549 because it has 50" stalls.  Most have 40" which equates to below 35". This trailer does not come with a LQ pkg standard and I am wondering if someone Could tell me if the Exiss XT410GLQ or Elite will safely and comfortably hold these horses?  Also any comments on equispirit?


I am a new trailer buyer and most of my research has been online since SoCal does not have many dealers.  What is frustrating is that once an LQ is in the picture everyone forgets the important things (horse stall details).  I have been searching for a year but now I have run out of time.

I would compare compartment sizes of the three trailers but not price. Elite will be much more expensive that the other two. However, it will also be built much much heavier than either one of the two listed. Elite seems to have the "over build" attitude when designing something. Its really built very solid.

I own two now.

I totally agree with threeman. Elite is one of the best and will custom make it for you to the specifications you need. High resale too... if you ever WANT to sell it.

I just went through this.  The largest stall I could find included the F-lite.  However, the floor did not impress me on them, seemed 'thin'.  The stalls on Exiss and Elite are, in my opinion, average, esp. when you crunch the numbers. When you diagram the stall size physically,  I found larger stalls in Merhow and even larger (longer) in Logan Coach (what I ended up with). 

Having said that, the F-lite's sure seem popular and seem to hold up well, except for pitting concerns about the floor. Maintenance would be esp. important. Since my horses are large and heavy, floor strength was very important.

The standards for Elites are 40". I had a silverstar once that had standard width of 42". Most can custom make something but most of what you will find on the lots are 39-42" wide. Some manufactures make warm blood trailers.
