Rice Horse Trailer Age ?

[vabars]

Hello. I have bought an old Rice Horse Trailer which after sandblasting we have identified as a Rice Cosby.

Would anyone know when these were manufactured? we believe the trailer is approx 50 years old but would welcome any advice/guidance?

thank you, Nick

Never heard of the Rice Cosby, and I was around 50 years ago in Pony Club, so knew most of the trailers about then. Have you got a picture of the whole trailer?

There was a very helpful company in Newbury, although I think they’ve gone now which dated mine. If you google rice trailer parts, there may be another company that would help who stock the old parts. (Warwickshire trailers?)

Rice used to have a place in the village of Cosby, Leicestershire, so this was where your trailer was made
