The Solo model name is a pretty good tipoff that this is a one-horse trailer. And unlike one-horse trailers of ancient times, Brenderup’s one-horse models are wide. The body width is 51” and all but about an inch of that is usable stall width. It’s almost like giving your horse a small box stall in which to travel. And if you’re a fan of Brenderups, you know that you don’t need a truck to tow them safely. This Solo has an empty weight of approximately 1300 lbs. and the loaded tongue weight is approximately 100 lbs. The body length is about 10 feet and the interior height is about 7’4”, so it’s a roomy trailer. Brenderups have been in production since the early 1950s, so their designs are well proven. The subject trailer is a private sale trailer that we’re showing at our dealership. The horse was sold, so it’s time for the trailer to go to someone who needs it.

The interior is a bright & inviting white. There’s a small fixed front window and a 5-way opening window on each side for light & ventilation. Above the ramp is a storm panel. The trailer can be run with the storm panel up or down and with the storm panel open, there’s even more light & ventilation.

Continuing with features at the rear of the trailer, please note that Brenderup’s standard ramp height is 5 feet. That’s a foot taller than many (most?) ramps. The 5’ ramp produces a comfortable incline and the ramp mat has convenient toeholds for good traction during loading and unloading. (Please note that Brenderups normally come with two assist rams for the ramp. This trailer has a simple modification wherein one ram was removed and an assist winch was installed.)

This Solo features Brenderup’s standard adjustable height chest and butt bars. Each adjusts to 3 heights and when you lower the butt bar, the wall mount is angled so that it also reduces the stall length. The butt bars have quick-action latches and even though they’re quick in operation, they also fit snugly so they’re quiet during travel. Other useful features are standard galvanized kick panels on the walls and a large groom door on the left side.

As with other Brenderups, the Solo has simple, effective Inertia mechanical brakes. With Inertia brakes, you don’t need a brake controller in the vehicle. When you apply the brakes in the tow vehicle, the Inertia brakes apply braking force automatically in proportion to the load in the trailer.

But wait, there’s more… There’s a durable galvanized steel chassis, low-maintenance Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) walls and a cool white fiberglass roof. The thick walls (about ½” thick) contribute to the quietness and good thermal properties of a Brenderup. As with other Brenderup models, the Solo has smooth-riding torsion axles (with shock absorbers) and radial tires, including a spare tire.

The trailer is offered with the following owner-supplied accessories: Trailer tie, bungee cords & Trailer-Aid (for use in changing tires)

Here’s a very clean 2006 Brenderup Baron TC. The “TC” indicates that this trailer has Brenderup’s patented InstaTack dressing room. The Baron series is for 2 horses to 18 hands and what’s particularly impressive about the Baron TC is that it’s a dressing room trailer with a loaded tongue weight of only 250 lbs. For comparison, the typical dressing room trailer has a loaded tongue weight in the 600-900 lb. range. We suspect that many of you reading this ad are already familiar with Brenderup trailers, but if not, here’s a key thing to know about them – You don’t need a truck to tow a Brenderup! Brenderup trailers have been in production since the early 1950s, so their easy-towing designs are well proven. This is a private sale trailer on display at our dealership. The horse was sold, so now it’s time for the trailer to be enjoyed by a new owner.

The Baron is constructed of durable, low-maintenance materials and loaded with safety and convenience features. The interior is bright & inviting. There’s a large fixed window at the front and a 5-way opening window near each horse’s head for light and ventilation. You can run the trailer with the rear storm panel up or down, and in the open position, there’s even more light and ventilation. The roof is cool white fiberglass and the walls are Solid Phenolic Core (SPC) panels. The walls are about ½” thick, which contributes to quietness and low heat transmission. The chassis is of tough & durable galvanized steel.

The chest bar and butt bars offer 3 height adjustments each. In addition, as you lower a butt bar, it reduces the stall length. When the horse is shorter in height, it’s likely shorter in length as well. The butt bars have quick-action latches that are easy to use, yet fit snugly, contributing further to the quietness of the interior.

Now a few words about the InstaTack dressing room… During travel, the hinged tack compartment lid is secured in the down position. (That is, it’s horizontal, just below the level of the front window.) When you reach your destination, pivot the tack lid to the vertical position and you have a standing height dressing room. (And remember, that’s a dressing room in a trailer with a loaded tongue weight of only 250 lbs.) The nicely equipped InstaTack dressing room contains two saddle racks, bridle hooks and a blanket bar. For convenient access, there’s a door on each side of the dressing room.

If the ramp on the Baron looks tall, that’s because it is. Brenderup’s standard ramp is 5’ tall rather than the more common 4 feet. The tall ramp produces a comfortable incline for loading and unloading and the ramp mat has convenient toeholds for traction. Without an effective assist, a tall ramp could be a real pain the, uh, back. Fortunately, Brenderup has that one figured out, too. Brenderup’s ramp design has two assist struts which make it surprisingly easy to lift. As we mentioned earlier, there’s a storm panel above the ramp and you can travel with it up or down.

As with other Brenderup models, there are smooth-riding torsion axles with shock absorbers and Inertia brakes. With Inertia brakes, you don’t need a brake controller in the tow vehicle. As you apply the brakes in the tow vehicle, Inertia brakes apply braking force automatically in proportion to the load in the trailer. Simple, effective and well proven. The trailer is equipped with radial tires, including a spare tire.

The trailer has rubber floor mats, split along the centerline (i.e., under the stall divider) to make them easy to handle. The trailer had just been thoroughly cleaned before being brought in and in the pictures, the mats are hanging over the stall divider.
