What about this type:
Would it be big enough to carry a 12hh pony and a 15.1hh LW COB?!

Cob&onion - that box is certainly 'big enough' to take the horses you mention but you would need to weigh it to know the payload. My understanding is that coach built boxes like the one pictured are heavier than the van conversions leaving you less weight for the horses etc
This thread has inspired me to get my 3.5 re-weighed at a weighbridge as although I know what it's payload is supposed to be (1.2), I've had work done to it since then that will have added weight AND I have no idea whether the original weighing included the spare tyre, full tank of fuel etc. I'm also going to fill it with all my usual competition stuff, two sets of tack etc. so I know *exactly* how much I have to play with for horse (or horses), passengers or staying away gear.
