The reconstruction of the Wetwang (Yorkshire) chariot can be seen here. It is the one they reconstructed for the BBC.

As you can see the frame was NOT solid wood but bent staves. The floor/platform was suspended and made of woven rawhide strips for a more stable platform.
The horses would have been very small fast ponies too. Probably not as big as in Johnny's beautiful painting.
