Typical asking price: $18,000–$28,000. There are 2 high-severity known issues you need to know before handing over a check.
Kestrel Take
Exiss builds mid-range aluminum horse trailers with good construction and wide-enough stalls for warmbloods and drafts. At 7 years old, the interior is the priority — floor boards, aluminum corrosion from waste, and the dressing room plumbing and electrical.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Towable trailers are in NHTSA’s database and we intend to use it. We have not switched it on yet because recall notices name sub-brands and floorplans rather than the model we key on, and folding them in carelessly would put another trailer’s recall on this page. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
