Here's a well-kept Brenderup Baron One TC that recently came in for us to show as a private sale.
As with all Brenderups, you can tow the Baron One safely with many of today's smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. What's neat about the Baron One is that it has the size to accommodate one horse up to 18 Hands AND, rare in a one-horse trailer, it has a dressing room - Brenderup's patented InstaTack. Pop up the tack compartment lid after you arrive at your destination and you have a standing-height dressing room - InstaTack!
Unlike narrow one-horse trailers of the old days, the Baron One has a generous 51 inch body width - the stall isn't quite a box stall, but it's roomy!
The Baron One TC weighs approximately 1700 lbs. and carries only about 5% of its weight on the tongue. Even with a very large horse & tack on board, the Baron One will put only about 170 lbs. on your hitch. A regular 2 horse trailer (without dressing room) typically puts more than 400 lbs. on the hitch, so it's easy to see why you don't need a huge vehicle to tow the Baron One. Less weight is easier to pull. Less tongue weight helps keep the tow vehicle level - better for steering control.
Brenderups feature a sophisticated chassis design that doesn't require a heavy tongue weight for directional stability. Brenderup trailers have been in production since the early 1950s, so the design is well proven.
Brenderups have Inertia Brakes, which apply braking force automatically in proportion to the load in the trailer. And Inertia Brakes don't require you to have a brake controller in the tow vehicle! Simple, fast-acting & reliable.
Notable Baron One TC features:
Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) walls - tough, quiet, low heat transmission / Long-lasting galvanized steel frame / Strong but light unitized construction / Groom door for easy access to your horse / InstaTack Dressing Room with saddle racks, bridle hook, blanket bar AND a convenient seat / Adjustable height butt bar with quick-action latch / Adjustable height chest bar / 5-way opening window on each side / Large, tinted front window / Easy-lift 5' tall rear ramp; ramp mat has convenient toeholds / Rear storm panel - run with it up or down (for additional light & ventilation) / Smooth-riding torsion axles with Shock Absorbers (you won't find those on most trailers!) / Inertia Brakes on all wheels / Radial tires, including spare tire / This trailer has an optional fan up front for air flow over your horse while the trailer is stopped. There's even an onboard battery so you won't run down your vehicle's battery!
This trailer was based in Virginia, which has mandatory safety inspections. Four new radial tires were installed just before the trailer passed VA state inspection in April 2013.
