Kestrel Take
A quality all-aluminum two-horse bumper-pull from a respected name — Exiss builds durable, rust-resistant horse trailers that hold value well. Horse trailers add serious safety stakes: floor integrity (rot under mats is deadly for a horse's leg), brakes, bearings, tire age, and structural soundness are all critical. A well-maintained Exiss with a sound floor is a safe, durable trailer; the floor and running-gear inspection is non-negotiable.
Known Issues for the 2019 Exiss Express 2-Horse
Ranked by wallet impact. These are documented, recurring problems — not freak accidents.
The floor is a horse-safety issue — urine and moisture rot the floor/supports under the mats, and a leg through a rotted floor is catastrophic. Pull the mats and inspect the floor thoroughly.
