OK,

Since I started the whole mess a few months ago, I thought I at least needed to give an update.

 

I purchased a Brenderup Prestige with some upgrades so the inside is more like a Baron.  I had to take a horse back to the seller (long boring story) yesterday.  Got the trailer Sunday.  Never trailered before in my life so I took a trailer savvy friend as a co-pilot (she drives a GN with LQ all the time). 

 

Bottom line.......LOVED IT.  Hitched it up myself.  Horse got on OK (had never seen a ramp before and had only been trailered in stock trailers before).  Tow vehicle (Toyota Sequoia  tow capacity 6500lbs GCVWR 12,000) was great.  Gas mileage was only 0.2 m/g less than without the trailer.  Now granted the mare was only a 14.2 hh 850 lb Morab and I had no other "stuff" in the trailer (1450 lbs).  But I am pleased.

 

And to all the doubters of the strength and intetrety of the synthetic walls.  They are bullet proof. I don't think aluminum can make that claim. 

 

So for those who own a Bup, thank you for your encouragment.  For those who don't but criticized, go look at one, you might be surprised at how sturdy/solid the trailer really is.

 

 

Thanks,

Amy
