My 14hd QH/Morgan mare looks so small in it...with the ramp up, I can BARELY see her ear tips over the top...I have found even reluctant horses get in fine (once they get used to the idea of a ramp instead of a step in) as it is big, open, light inside :) No comparison to the 2-horse "cowboy" trailers you see so often...though I see some companies are finally making nicer, more open and big 2hs straight loads (Sundowner has a really nice one!), but they are still way heavier than a European-style one :)<br /><br />can't wait for the ditch pics...yikes! I am always afraid of that going down this one very narrow access road to a trailhead with my friend...she has a bigger 3-hs trailer and when we have another car coming at us, she has to get REALLY close to the ditch on the side...I always wonder what would happen if she misjudged the distance :(Aylishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965418761814631142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610194971542188133.post-64825854121596185002010-02-07T15:17:35.195-05:002010-02-07T15:17:35.195-05:00Well, it depends on how many care a trailer receiv...Well, it depends on how many care a trailer receives. A friend of mine owns a fiberglass (or, as we call it here in Germany, "Poly") Boeckmann-Trailer, a fairly ancient one, from 1989 I think. Sure, doesn`t look new anymore, but it is in a fairly good shape, considering it`s age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610194971542188133.post-9808695127910812292010-02-06T20:40:52.187-05:002010-02-06T20:40:52.187-05:00Well.

But looking at that last picture, they don't seem to age very well BUT then the above comment defends them soooo lol Its just these things look so bloody tiny!!! <br /><br />Yawn* I'm over tired. Do I have a picture for you. My friend actually got her truck and trailer stuck in a massive ditch today. Good thing her horse is a pro trailerer. Unloaded no prob although rather slanted lol... No one was hurt. Got unstuck and no further incident. Post coming soon with pics ;)banagadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09124824269592340408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610194971542188133.post-73654746735497476582010-02-06T14:43:08.256-05:002010-02-06T14:43:08.256-05:00I disagree...I have a 1989 or so model Brenderup.....I disagree...I have a 1989 or so model Brenderup...it is holding up GREAT..the only "bad" look to it is the paint is peeling..and that is only cause the original owner painted OVER the original paint, and did not prep it correctly...so now it is coming off in patches..(which is what I thus named the trailer :) I call it my "anti theft" device, cause the trailer is totally sound, but "looks" old and warn, so no one would want to steal it)...and that was the "old" style Brenderups that were mostly plywood with fiberglass top...now they have some kind of super duper composite plastic walls that won't have issues... Not sure WHAT the ppl did to that poor trailer in the post, but that is not 'normal' for these trailers... I LOVE my BU and it hauls SO nicely, most any horse will get in it, have had it in high winds with no issues (someone once told me they'd blow over hauling in winds), and unless I need to ever transport more than 2hs, will always stick with this trailer brand... LUV it... you can see a few pics of it on my blog... and this is living in a VERY wet and DAMP environment, no cover, and practically no cleaning on the outside (ja, I am lazy and maybe power wash it once every summer, and have only open places to park it too...:(...)<br />http://stallionadventures.blogspot.com/2009/12/hello-can-i-come-out-now-please-ill-be.html<br />http://stallionadventures.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-good-boy.htmlAylishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965418761814631142noreply@blogger.com
