Re: [RC] [RC] Brenderup and Back Roads - sharon1359

Regarding surge brakes coming on because people are driving too fast: even if I
took a frost heave at a crawl, those brakes came on.

I replaced my Brenderup with a brand new, fully-insulated, aluminum,
straight-load horse trailer with a divider... not a "spring-axle open stock
trailer with a cheap purchase price".  I am very happy with my choice.  And
yes, it was cheaper than the used Brenderup... but still lots more $$ than a
stock trailer.

Kathy:
Even though I don't live in the West, we have our fair share of the long bumpy
dirt roads that you were asking about... so I hope my experiences help you. 
Please let me know if you would like me to email you directly with my other
feedback on the trailer.

Quoting terry banister <terrybanister@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

I am one of the minority of endurance riders here in the "West" who is
hauling with a Brenderup Baron
for the past 4 years, and I know that when I take a speed bump too fast in
town, the inertia brakes kick in, so when I am driving on long bumpy
backroads, I drive slow enough not to cause that.  I have had no problem
hauling on bumpy backroads.  The trailer is solid and it has needed no
maintenance.
But if I lived and drove on bumpy backroads on a constant basis,  I probably
wouldn't want to drive slow all the time - although, the picture of hauling
horses quickly over bumpy backroads in an open, spring-axle stock trailer
brings "pretty rough ride" to MY mind.
I think the reason stock trailers are the "trailer of choice" has more to do
with the original purchase price ;-}

&gt;Kathy,
&gt;
&gt;I used to have a Brenderup Baron TC.  One of the many reasons I sold it
was
&gt;because we have horrible roads here in Maine, and every time you go over
a
&gt;bump, the surge brakes come on.  (!!!)  In my opinion, that makes for a
pretty
&gt;rough ride for the horse.

&gt;&quot;I would like to hear from anyone who has experience trailering
&gt;to endurance rides west of the Mississippi with their Brenderup.
&gt;I'm curious as to how they hold up on those long dirt road drives
&gt;into ridecamp (trailering to Gold Country in CA doesn't count).
&gt;We have long dirt roads here in NM... some pretty rutty.  Lots
&gt;of dirt, lots of bumps, lots of rattling.  One can easily see how
&gt;stock trailers with 7000# or 10,000# axels came to be the trailer
&gt;of choice around here.
&gt;
&gt;Public or Private feedback welcome.  Anyone putting a lot of
&gt;true endurance miles on a fully loaded Brenderup?  Thanks in
&gt;advance,
&gt;
&gt;Kathy Myers
&gt;in Santa Fe, NM&quot;
