BUlLT on a Bedford 3-4-ton chassis, with a Baico extension, a new individually constructed Jennings horsebox has the centre of the body reserved for living accommodation, whilst as many as five ponies can be carried in stalls at the front and rear. The owner, Mr. Ken Miller, of Stockport, employs the vehicle for the carriage of his daughters' ponies for competitions at shows.
The living apartment is entered from the near side; here, fitted cupboards are built on the upper walls and a large settee slides out which will, if necessary, make a double bed. A Calor gas fire is built into the near-side storage cupboards, which also house the cylinder.
The floor has a fitted carpet and there are radio exteniion speakers fixed in the roof. A 60-gallon tank provides all water necessary and there are, of course, cooking facilities. The off-side rear corner is built in the form of a toilet, with an Elsan closet, water heater, wash
basin, shaving mirror (with conveniently placed strip light) and coat hooks.
Sliding doors at each end lead into the pony stalls, of which there are four or five, according to requirements. The stalls have clips for feeding bins, the fodder being carried on a full-width shelf over the cab. A door in the bulkhead gives access to the body. There are side and rear ramps.
