Re: [RC] [RC] Brenderups - terry banister

Yes, the horses love the Brenderup. My first endurance ride was such nasty weather, I kept the horse in the trailer all night!
The Baron two-horse has the only decent tack room for camping.
But it is still basically only good for ONE person because of lack of saddle space. I removed the built-in saddle rack and put in a 35-gallon saddle rack water tank. It can hold two saddles, but I use it to pile my feed and feed tubs, etc. on the other side.
Also put the trap door in the UP position and hang all my blankets up high and out of the way on a portable blanket bar.
You can pull the B with almost anything, so you can buy a cheap van to sleep in, and set up the Zodi propane shower and a porta-poti in the trailer.

I have had mine for 3 1/2 years now, hasn't needed any maintenance, and don't ever need to buy another trailer (unless I win the lottery and buy too many horses).

You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an
endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our
sport has to offer, you need to do both of those.
