Uarlier this summer, the Hawk and Foden the dog took time out to marvel at the skills of some of our equine friends at the Scania Milton Keynes Horse Trials. The overall human winner of the advanced section was Andrew Hoy, a member of the Olympic gold medal-winning Australian team in Atlanta 1996. Andrew travels the international eventing circuit in a Smnia horsebox. Foden and I took a quick shufti around it and were not disappointed by what we saw, This 230hp, I7-tonne vehicle has six horse compartments, veterinary cabinets, storage space and living accommodation which includes a lounge area, fitted kitchen and a shower toilet for a crew of three. Foden looked quite ruefully at his old blanket when he got back to the Reliant Robin.
