Horsebox News - Friday 3rd September

An important couple of weeks for us now as we complete and deliver two brand new builds and start two more projects.

Martin Dawes will be first to have the latest build, pictured here.

Yesterday it was waxed and polished and now it is ready to go.

It is a magnificent build with Bentley exterior paint and Bentley leather in the living area, granite work tops, a downstairs bathroom, 34 inch TV, drop down bed and oak floor.

It carries 8 horses with padded flooring and partitions, it really is superb.

The living area in Richard Davenports horsebox is finished and it looks very good.

He even has a bed that drops down from the roof, the cab area is incorporated into the living area and it makes the area seem very big.

The flat screen TV is in the cab, which is high up and can be watched from anywhere in the living.

It has a state of the art computer system, easy to use and a modern microwave cooker.

The work shop is busy and we have several, major projects in full flow.

Pictured is a new mould we have made for a luton on the top line Scania boxes, it is nearly completed.

Also we are doing the living area on a new, luxury six horse box we have for sale.

It has a pop out side and it will have a full luxury living with leather and the works.

We have sprayed it in a superb colour, it is a pale Gold metallic, it looks great.

The New Year for Quigley Horse boxes has got off to a very good start.

We have a good new employee, who seems to have settled in well and enjoying the job.

We have been busy completing jobs on horse boxes we have in and pressing on with new, big projects.

One of our luxury horseboxes has been sold, after an advert in the Horse and Hound, this magazine has a very high strike rate for us.
We have two more luxury horseboxes for sale now, one of them is an AK Horse box with left hand drive.
Both boxes can be seen on the Horseboxes for sale page.

We also have a new order for a very big horsebox.

So it could not be a better start to the year for us, we will look forward to all the hard work ahead!

Work continues on new projects in the work shop.

We have a new build on going for Martin Dawes, Richard Davenport is having a living fitted in his horse box and work begins in Nina Barbours horse boxes.

We also have had another Chassis delivered, so work will be starting on that one, which is a 7.5 ton build for a local customer.

So a very busy time!

Our latest horse box is completed and was picked up yesterday.

The owners were delighted and rightly so as it looks superb.

This will be the first of our boxes to go to Scotland, we hope we may get so people calling us up for quotes when they see this one!

The workshop is not over warm in the winter, but the men are keeping warm with all their hard work.

We have a new member of staff, Edward, he is an experienced horse box builder and he is doing a good job already.

Dave delivered Penni Cornish's horse box, he met Pennie at the NEC in Birmingham!

The lorry looks great, it has nine horse stalls and no living area.

Tack and storage lockers on the outside, padded partitions, rubber ramps with side gates.

Work is progressing on our Scottish horse box, the roof is on and work inside the box is nearly finished.

The two horse box is being hired out alot lately, it still stays spotless, like new, each time it returns we power wash and disinfect it, so it stays in superb condition.

Work continues on the horse box we are building for our Scottish customer.

The roof went on today, progress is quick and it looks superb.

Pennie Cornish's horse box is now finished, so we will be busy with a final photo shoot before Sunday, when it will be delivered.

The work shop has been very busy lately.

Work has been pressing on with the Iveco chassis we have in to build for our customers from Scotland.

This horse box has a large space for the living area and it will carry 6 horses.

Pennies horse box has now gone for its MOT test, when it comes back, it will have the partitions put in and then it is ready to go.

It looks very good and we hope she will be thrilled.

We have another horse box just arrived which is for sale.  A three/ four horse box, a great hunting, pony club or the professionals second box.

See the horse boxes for sale for a full description.

Work has now started on the Iveco.

It is great to see Pennie Cornish's horse box is very near to completion, in fact all the finishing touches are being done and then it can be taken on the the yard for a photo shoot!

We have another project which we are ready to start, very similar to Pennie's horse box.
Someone has sent us a nice Iveco chassis to build a box on.
This can be started next week.

We are also pleased to have the job of building a super, big, horse box with living on a brand new top line Scania.
This project will also be starting very soon.

Richard Davenport's horse box is ready for him to collect, it looks fantastic and everyone who comes in the yard is full of admiration!

He said he feels like a child on Christmas day, waiting to come and get it.

All the sign writing has been done, they are very nice logo's which is always a bonus and they look super against the white.

All the efforts will now be on Pennies box, which shold be finished very soon.

Pennies horse box is back in the work shop from being sprayed and it looks great.

The white colour looks superb and seems to be getting very popular.

You can customise the truck with logo's or pictures or just leave it blank, then if you sell the truck on, it is easy for the new owner to put on what they like.

The blue and red logo's look great on this colour, it is also amazing how many different shades of white you could have!

This horse box has no living area, so it is a great,  day horse box.

Very exciting week coming up, Richard Davenports horse box is going to the sign writing shop in the morning to have the logo's put on the sides.

Then we have Pennie Cornish's horse box coming back from the spray shop, then that too can be completed.

Richards lorry has returned from the spray shop a few days ago and is very nearly finished.

It looks stunning in white and I believe he is going to have some large logo's put on the sides.

Pennie's box has also gone to be sprayed, so we will wait for it to return so we can finish her box aswell.

I expect to see a total transformation when it returns, it will be good to see the cab in a nice white, instead of the blue.

The horse box we are building for Pennie Cornish is coming along very well, I am sure she will be over to see the progress soon.

We are waiting for Richard Davenports Horse Box to return form the spray shop, this will be very soon.

Everyone is back in the workshop now, all holidays have been taken and Dave is back from Dublin.

Richard Davenports Horse Box is looking great and work has started on our next big project, a Horse Box for Pennie Cornish.

Richards lorry is ready for spraying and everyone will press on with Pennie's lorry.

We were delighted to complete Maurice Cousins horse box that we have been building.

Also, very nearing completion is Richard Davenports horse box, this should also be a super truck.

Richard enjoys calling in to us and watching the quick progress, even with some of the employee's taking a summer holiday!

The horse box we have built for Maurice Cousins from Ireland is finished and is looking great.

Maurice will soon be over to collect it, just as soon as the MOT is done.

It drives like a dream and it is automatic.

Last week saw us complete Maurice Cousins new horse box and start Richard Davenport's.

Maurice Cousins has now gone to be sprayed and Richard's is coming along fast.

Richard has a brand new MAN chassis and he is having an eight horse with a living area.  He is also having side and rear ramps, under floor storage and maybe a cut through cab.

It looks great even in these early stages.

We are currently building a horse box for Maurice Cousins from Barnadown Stud in Ireland, the build is coming along really well.

Maurice and wife Flick are coming over to visit us in the near future to see the progress made.

We have been building it for three weeks and it is nearing completion.
