Re: [RC] [RC] Brenderup and Back Roads - terry banisterI am one of the minority of endurance riders here in the "West" who is hauling with a Brenderup Baronfor 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 ;-} Terry "May the Horse be with you" <html><P><IMG height=12 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/emsmiled.gif"; width=12> Happy Trails!</P> <P>Terry</P> <DIV></DIV></html> >From: sharon1359@xxxxxxxxxxx >To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [RC] Brenderup and Back Roads >Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2004 11:55:22 -0400 > >Kathy, > >I used to have a Brenderup Baron TC.
