RICE'S PONY TRAILER |
The one on the left with the wire towbar was the original, the cast towbar came out later, probably 1962. It came with a single horse, the one in the pictures is correct, and was frequently part of a Gift Set with the Land Rover 109" pickup
As a kid I must have been given the gift set because I still have the Land Rover, although broken backed through being trodden upon and with the front bumper broken away and I also still have the very battered horse box, sans tow bar, God knows how many times I tried to fix it with fuse wire. I have strong memories of the tin rear tilt off the Land Rover getting squashed, again by being trodden on, and the horse lasted a long time in my farm box with the cows and sheep. Being a farmer's son this was obviously a suitable gift for me to receive, I just remember being allowed to play with my tractors in the corner of the big back kitchen where the wellies and mucky coats were kept, too far from the Rayburn and bloody cold. There's no wonder that I have an iron stomach and never fall ill - my antibodies were bred tough at a very early age.
