If you only have one horse, the Brenderup Solo could be the trailer for you.  The Solo has Brenderup's standard 7'4" interior height and 7' stall length.  There's a generous 40" of room forward of the chest bar (the same as on the Prestige).  Old style one horse trailers were pretty narrow, but the Solo has a roomy 51" stall width.  In fact, the Solo is only 14 inches narrower than Brenderup's 2 horse models.  The Solo's empty weight is approximately 1300 lbs.  Fully loaded, the Solo has a tongue weight of about 100 lbs, so it can be pulled safely by many of today's small trucks, compact SUVs and minivans.  The aerodynamic shape and stability-enhancing chassis design add to the ease and comfort of pulling not only the Solo, but all Brenderups.  Brenderups have been in production since the early 1950s, so the design is well proven on roads throughout the world. 

 

Durable, low-maintenance Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) walls have been standard on Baron and Royal models for several years, and in 2007, Brenderup made SPC walls standard on all models.  The Solo's standard equipment list includes Brenderup's comprehensive package of safety and convenience features such as multi-position butt & chest bars, two 5-way opening windows, galvanized kick panels, a large groom door, rubber torsion axles (with shock absorbers!),  high quality radial tires (including a spare), bright, reliable LED running lights and much more.  The extra tall ramp (5' tall) with gas spring assist provides a comfortable entry into the trailer and if you look at the "ramp down" picture, you'll see that the ramp mat is ribbed for good footing.  The Solo suspension provides a steady platform for loading, but as an added convenience feature, Brenderup has equipped all models with rear prop stands.  If you have good loaders, you'll probably rarely use the prop stands, but if you come across a horse that's never loaded, it's nice to know the prop stands are there if you need them.

 

The Solo features a rugged galvanized steel chassis as on other Brenderup models and it also has Brenderup's smooth-acting Inertia brakes.  As you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, Inertia brakes automatically apply the trailer brakes with force in proportion to the load in the trailer.  As you increase the load in the trailer, Inertia brakes automatically (and smoothly) compensate with additional braking force.  And with Inertia brakes, you don't need to install, set up or adjust a brake controller in your tow vehicle.

 

Many manufacturers offer no single horse models, but Brenderup offers a full range.  The Solo is Brenderup's most affordable one horse model, but if you have larger horses or would like tack accommodation or even a dressing room, check out the Baron One models - HB, TC & SL, elsewhere in our Brenderup section.

 

Traveled Lane has been selling and servicing Brenderups since 1996, so we know the product and can provide helpful advice on suitable tow vehicles.  We keep a nice selection of Brenderups in stock and we even offer test drives.  We invite you to stop by and check them out!
