I own a 3 horse slant GN that I've pulled quite a bit with no problems. I also sell them so my opinion may not mean as much to you as someone else's, but I am also an end user and I will be honest with you about the pros and cons. The pros are: they have the rumber floors, well laid out very usable, lots of room for the horses, LED lights standard, they use Al-ko axles, and it goes on and on. The cons are: in a slant load the rear tack is too small for larger saddles, they use exterior grade plywood in the floors of the DR (but rumber is available as an option), the GN's are pretty heavy (but well built), the paint on '07 and older trailers was poor to say the least they did change it in '08 and it is much better now, they don't offer keyed alike doors so you end up with a key for every lock on the trailer. Basicly the cons are small things (with the exception of the paint which is fixed now) for the price they are hard to beet. Everyone I've sold one to loves them and I have had 1 warranty claim in 3 yrs out of about 15 trailers and all 15 get used hard. And the 1 claim was just the plastic wall liner in the horse area cracking during the winter and when we relaced it we drill the holes out for the screws giving the plastic room to expand and contract and we fixed that problem.
