I wouldn't blame the trailer. Aluminum is light, but its tensile strength is less than steel's. The broom handle comment is uncalled for.

I just can't believe a horse lifts his head and that happens especailly when the vents are in the center of the stall area. If the horse was in there with no extra room width wise. He would have to go up pretty good to hit near a vent. Now my trailer is a 96 not sure if the style ia any different. JMO..Not defending Exiss either just can't picture it..... |
Actually that is exactly where mine has the tear. If you see how these trailers are configured, the vent is exactly where the horse's head would hit. Mine didn't get nearly as damaged as that picture. Just a little hole. The ceilings need a double layer of alum. IMHO. Interesting to know that this has happened to others and not just to me.
