I've been looking at 5 and 6 horse trailers for a while now. I really would like to order a 4 Star just the way I want it, but there is a new Sooner available fairly close to me and my husband suddenly wants to buy a trailer right now. I know nothing about the Sooners and would love any feedback - positive and negative. The Sooner would save me about $12,000, but does not have some of the things I wanted with the 4 Star. I'm also not sure how well my horses will fit in the Sooner - I've got to go down to the barn and measure the trailers they've been in. Thanks for the info!

Sooner is a well made trailer, but I would not put it in the same category as the 4 Star in quality. I would probably compare Sooner more to a Sundowner - both are well made trailers and from what I have heard, very reputable companies. If your heart is set on the 4 Star, it would probably be worth waiting for (in my opinion !!). I waited 3 months for my 4 Star and I am absolutely thrilled with it.

We were looking at a Sooner (not a bad trailer in my opinion, I think they are the official trailer of AQHA), when the dealer said its a very good trailer but its not a "4 Star". We bought the "4 Star". The reason we even looked at Sooner is the standard Sooner was larger than most trailers (again according to the dealer).

I had an2001 Sooner 3 horse with a weekender. It was very well made and at 7 wide, carried the horses with panty of room. However, they don't make things like they used to. They and exxis are together now.
