Chipperfield Circus Horse box
This originally goes back to my childhood. Christmas 1962: my younger brother Charlie was given this as a present. To me, at the time, it seemed the best present ever.
The fact that they had gave me the Chipperfield Circus jeep and trailer, with lions, from the same series, cut no ice. The horse box was the best present imaginable, and Charlie had got it. This was proof that Charlie was my parents' favourite child.
Years later, inspired by me continuing to go about it,. Dawn brought me Chippendale Horse Box as a present. I was delighted. She even had to source one of the horses separately
When I eventually relayed the whole story to Charlie - half a century after the event - he had absolutely no recollection of the Chippendale Horse Box at all.
