    Most of us non horsey-type people wouldn't, and don't know the difference, and prob won't care either.

    Personally, I read the headline, then the article oblivious to the fact it mentions a "divider" in the very first line of the article.

    Horsebox/horse box divider. It doesn't matter to me. Still a tragic accident regardless.

    There is a big difference between a horse box and a horse box divider.
    Its a tragic case - they should have got it right.

    The Indo is not known for the accuracy of it's headlines. The content generally leaves a lot to be desired too.

    The father would not describe it as either, but as scrap metal.

    Either way, God love them all. I know it sounds odd, but there is something particularly tragic about an accident when the child is in the care of a parent or grandparent. You just think the guilt will consume them.
