Any comments on Moritz horse trailers?
I have found an old thread here that received no responses. That poster was also asking about opinions & quality.
With respect to the Calico, I have read many positive posts. I've read the thread here that discusses the bad paint issue in prior years. From what I have gathered, the 6 foot width is too small for anything other than small horses. The complaint I have read about the Calico trailers concerns not being to comfortably accommodate larger horses.
I have had straight load trailers in the past. Am I correct in gathering that have a 6'8" or 7' width makes a big difference in the size of horse a slant load will carry comfortably.

Many farmers in my area have Moritz trailers for hauling cattle. They get quite a beating. In examining them, they appear very well built. Aesthetic appearances are for day to day work, and not the Saturday night prom.

I have a calico trailer, its a good trailer, but when i got it i had smaller horses so it worked great. Now i have a larger horse and the slant is too small for him. I removed the divider and it works great otherwise. If i wanted i could get someone to weld mounts for my divider to make it bigger but it works good without it.
