Boss Configurations

Which one suits you?

No configuration is better than any other, but depending on how you use your Boss, then one may be more suitable than the others for you and your horses

 Door through to living

This is the most often prescribed configuration: it is practical and easy to operate. Most horses like travelling this way. Each horse has a roomy stall and has the support of the tack locker in front.  You can get easily through to the rear day living through the door or can stand in the gap whilst tacking up the nearside horse

 Full Bulkhead

In this configuration, there is no door to the living - there is a hatch through to the rear living. This is a configuration which is appropriate where is it perceived that their horses may be tempted to jump up onto the lockers - the locker tops are angled so the horses slide off more easily should they be foolish enough to attempt this. Further more is you are going to travel horses loose or travel a lot of different horses or travel mares and foals you may feel the advantages of this configuration are for you

 Long Stall or Stallion partitions

In this configuration, there are two distinctly separate stalls with no breast bar. The horse balances without the aid of a breast bar. Horses  seem to manage this quite well and it is a fairly popular configuration. They are sometimes called  stallion stalls because it is possible to have the stalls so the horses are completely separate with no vision from one stall to the other - more suitable for a stallion travelling with another horse. This is also often the configuration chosen by transporters as they do not need the enhanced day living and feel this configuration is good when transporting horses that they do not know, may have quirky tendencies and if transporting two, may not know each other. Obviously there is no breast bar or lockers for the horse to jump on. You can have a dividing partition that is solid to the floor. The disadvantage of this configuration is that you lose locker space. Recently we made a half and half - the passenger side had a long stall and the ramp side had the locker in front of the horse which gave this particular customer the best of both worlds

 Weekender

Sometimes you need to spend nights away and you want your Boss to provide sleeping arrangements. The weekender sleeps one comfortably, and is mostly built on an XL chassis, most usually with a three seat cab. The box  can sleep up to three when suitably configured. If you are spending only the occasional night away, you may feel the pop up bed in the cab is sufficient or taking a camp bed to use in the horse area will suffice, but if you want to stay away in comparative luxury, you need the Weekender 


With this you can have cupboards, double burners, a wardrobe, telly, porta potti space etc etc, but there are weight implications and most people choosing this option will have their box uprated to 3.9 or 4.5 tonnes. Whilst we have a standard layout, we can individually tailor the design to suit you.

PRO SPORT

For professional people or serious competitors you can often need a box that is set up to provide your competition needs. The standard pro sport configuration provides just that. Carrying four saddles and numerous bridles there are shelves for boots bandages lotions and potions.


Most commonly specified with the full bulkhead option, in the back, in place of the normal day living you will find a hatch through to the horses, plus a hanging area, sealed cupboard and shelving to carry whatever you wish: plus an area for long boots.
