A friend is looking at getting a Brenderup trailer.  this would be her first trailer and she's saying one of the benefits is it can be pulled by a smaller tow vehicle (or even a car?? ) I'd be worried about how well it could stop being pulled  w/ something like a smaller SUV but she said it  has integrated brakes, so you don't need a brake box.   is that true?    also I'm wondering about ventilation since from the little I've seen they don't have much window space. 

they do seem like cute trailers and they've been around a while so I'd imagine the design is pretty well thought out.

Any of you out there who have Brenderups how do you like them?   pros? cons?

thanks!

Brenderup is the Worlds Easiest Handling Full Sized One and Two Horse Trailers.
Here's just a few reasons why;

- The bigger the horse the higher its center of gravity;
   Only BRENDERUP REAL® TRAILERS accommodate this by lowering the trailer's
    center of gravity thereby  improving the trailer's roadworthiness.

- The bigger the horses the more likely any loaded
two-horse trailer will outweigh the towing vehicle.
   Therefore the trailer needs to be braked earlier and for longer than the lighter towing vehicle.
   Only BRENDERUP REAL® TRAILERS employs INERTIA® 4-wheel brakes designed to operate as
   the driver comes off the accelerator pedal and before getting to the brake pedal. Under ALL
   circumstances whenever the trailer tries to push on the tow vehicle the trailer brakes are being
   applied in direct proportion to the weight of the trailer at the time and the rate of deceleration.
   The INERTIA® brake system also has an independent parking brake, emergency breakaway
   and antilock characteristics.

- The majority of horsemen are in fact women.
   Only BRENDERUP REAL® TRAILERS builds all of its two-horse trailers for simple "one person" handling.
   Hitching/unhitching-loading/unloading-driving, you can really handle this trailer by yourself.

- Noise, vibration, rattling inside a trailer causes
undue stress on the horses thereby increasing their fatigue level.
   Only BRENDERUP REAL® TRAILERS eliminates All Noise, Vibration, Rattles, Heat Build-up and Sway.

- Build a trailer with a heavy tongue, inefficient brakes and no functional aerodynamics. A full-sized truck becomes essential towing equipment.
   Only BRENDERUP REAL® TRAILERS specifically designs all of its trailers to be safely towed
   and stopped by regular vehicles (within broadly defined parameters.)

- Available in the United States since 1982.
   A long history in the US and Europe of safely transporting horses of all types, sizes, and disciplines.

ALL 2008 BRENDERUP HORSE TRAILERS have 5 year limited chassis frame warranty, at least 7'4" interior height, maintenance-free wheel bearings/suspension, INERTIA™  anti-lock brakes, 5 ft. loading ramp with lift assistors, floor mat, interior lights, fiberglass roof (cool & quiet), front window, storm door, & 5-way vent window/s.

Anything with a 93 inch wheelbase and 125 hp can handle a Brenderup trailer.  Please see

They will send you a dvd and all kinds of information.

funny, she mentioned something too about a volvo station wagon as an accessory to the Brenderup...

My guess is she will be wearing Riding Breeches, instead of Wranglers?

 Brenderup discussion, from August of 2005!!!.....  http://www.horsetrailerworld.com/forum/thread-view.asp?threadid=3520&posts=14

I have had others tell me this, would the guys at the roping pen make fun of me?

Yes. 

Well Im not a genuine cowboy, but I will admit a few times over the years after an extended off season I will throw on a pair of bicycle shorts under the jeans.  Just until "things" get back to normal.  

But pantyhose?  Thats a little to Brokeback Mountain for me.

That's what I thought, besides I think they will make my but look big.

Actually breeches look quite dashing on men.

Back to the thread.....I would have a Brenderup but the Miata does not have the requisite wheelbase......so since I have a big diesel truck and a gooseneck steel trailer............
