Hi Cindy:  I love my 4-Star.  We ordered it in 2003 after
looking at every brand and model out there.  I would definitely
order a 4-Star again and there isn't anything I would do
differently.  What I loved best about the company is that they let
you customize things exactly how you want.  They charged only for
what options we got.  Whereas some other companies wanted to charge
for taking stuff of that you didn't need because that was a change - hope
that makes sense.  

When you are comparing trailers be sure to check how things are put
together along with the quality of the materials used.  Some of the
aluminum on my trailer is 4 times thicker that of other trailers and it
is doubled in spots so the structural integrity is much better.  And
of course, you know how much I use my trailer and it's holding up
exceptionally well. 

One of the best options that I did with my trailer was to order the
stalls smaller than most other brands have.  I got 36" stalls
which are more than adequate even for the very large Arabs (I've also
hauled other breeds that are larger and they fit just fine).  Having
hauled in other trailers too, I actually think that my horses are more
comfortable without all that extra room to flop about.  This gave me
another foot and a half of room to put into the LQ part so I have a 3
horse LQ trailer that is 21 1/2 feet long but I have the equivalent LQ of
what you'd find in a 24' or larger trailer.
