We have good news.  The Barons were Brenderup's largest models, but they're no longer offered.  What's good about that?  The Barons have been replaced by the Baron L models, which have
5 inch longer stalls.  Baron L models are recommended for horses to about 18 hands.  As before, there are 3 variants - TC, SL and HB.  

 

We're showing the Baron L TC in these admittedly hazy photos.  We'll take a new batch when we get some clearer weather.  The TC was the most popular Baron model and we expect that trend to continue with the Baron L TC.  The TC features Brenderup's patented InstaTack Tack Compartment (hence the TC designation) that easily converts to a dressing room by raising the flip-up lid.  All Baron L models feature standard saddle racks, bridle hooks and blanket bar. 

 

As we often say in our ads, you don't need a truck to tow a Brenderup.  A significant feature of the Baron L TC is that it's a dressing room trailer that has a loaded tongue weight of approximately 250 lbs.  For comparison, a conventional dressing room trailer will typically carry about 13-15% of its weight on the hitch, which usually works out to about 700-900 lbs.  The lighter tongue weight is one of the reasons a Baron L, and Brenderups in general, can be towed safely by smaller vehicles.  The low-drag shape also contributes to the easy-towing nature of a Brenderup.   We've towed Brenderups in quite gusty conditions, and they've always behaved beautifully.  It's partly due to the aerodynamic shape and partly due to the chassis design, which features toe-in and camber to aid stability.  Brenderups have been in production for over 50 years and have been on sale in the U.S. for over 20 years, so the design is well proven on roads all over the world.

 

From the outside, the Baron L SL is nearly identical to the TC shown here.  The key feature of the SL is that the dressing room wall can be slid back to the chest bar when the horses are off the trailer.  This provides a dressing room of nearly 6' in length.   The SL takes its name from the SLiding wall feature.  Both the TC and SL feature 2 doors on each side for easy access to the horse area or dressing room.

 

The Baron L HB doesn't have a dressing room wall, but it does have saddle racks, bridle hooks and a blanket bar cleverly mounted in the front of the trailer.  The HB has a single large door on each side for access to horses and tack.  In case you're wondering what HB stands for, that's "Horse Box," a common term for horse trailer in Europe. 

 

As on the other 2 horse Brenderups, the Baron L series features a body width of 65 inches and interior height of approximately 7'4".   Where the other Brenderup models (including the old Barons) have a 7' stall length, the Baron L series has a stall length of about 7'5".  As with the old Baron models, the Baron L series has 65" of stretch out space forward of the chest bar, and because the Baron L carries its full width all the way to the front, there's even more room than in the other models.  As with most Brenderups, Baron L models feature 3 height adjustments on butt and chest bars, 5-way opening windows, galvanized kick panels, rubber torsion axles with shock absorbers (you won't find those on most trailers!), bright LED tail and marker lights and much more.  A few years ago, Brenderup even added tiebacks for the doors.  Older Brenderups were very well equipped, but lacked door tiebacks.  You asked for them, you got them! 

 

You may have noticed in the lead photo that the Baron L does not have the angled ramp of the other Brenderup models.  The Baron L features stiffened floor side rails to deal with the greater length, and this dictated the change at the rear of the trailer.  It's still a low-drag, aerodynamic design that pulls with the ease you expect from Brenderup.  

 

Baron L models feature Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) walls and fiberglass roof.  SPC is extremely durable, and because the walls are about 1/2" thick, there's little heat or sound transmission.  All Brenderup models feature tough, low-maintenance galvanized steel frames and Inertia brakes.  Inertia brakes feature a clever and simple design that's been in use for quite some time.  Inertia brakes apply braking force in proportion to the load in the trailer and there's no need to adjust a brake controller in the vehicle.  In fact, you don't even need a brake controller!

 

We invite you to visit Traveled Lane to see our great selection of Brenderups.  We even offer test drives.
