'The Old Vic' Hungerford is back on Biglorryblog and has picked up on the subject of horseboxes...or as they call them in New Zealand 'Horse Floats'."Hi Brian," he says, "I liked Rod's photo of that horse float, but not all horse floats in NZ are quite like that. I was in the far north a couple of days ago, where most things are done a bit differently; I believe that is the case in Australia too." Now click through here for more....
Vic continues: "If there is no horse float available, get the nearest tip-truck, preferably a Foden, pick up a few farm gates from a farm where the farmer is asleep, back up to a bit of high ground and load the horses on, shut the tailgate, take off with a bit of Cummins diesel smoke and away you go.cheers, Vic."
Presumably when you can't find a bit of high ground you just tip them off! Cheers Vic.
Horses do prefer to ride topless you know.
