From guarding the Queen to shame. This is the true story of the fall and rise of the author who was dismissed from the senior regiment in the British Army in 1976. Myself and seventeen other completely innocent men thrown onto the scrapheap. Two years later I'm back, back transporting my old regiment. The title recalls the ironic journey from being a mounted sentry on Horse guards in London, a "Boxman" to the vehicles I drove all over Europe "horsebox's". Experience the ups and downs of life in commercial horse transport during the seventies and eighties. Some of the recollections are funny, some are sad, some might say, tragic. Come with me as I take you through the iron curtain to eastern block countries and to north Africa. I recall working with the characters who work with these wonderful animals all over the UK and Europe. All the stories are true but, apart from mine and my family, all the names have been changed. I decided not to have the script edited; these are my words just as I wrote them, I hope you enjoy it.
