Drunk Pony!

[hafital]

So, everyone is talking about Joe the Plumber, but I think the real "hero" of the day should be Fat Boy, the Drunk Pony.

A drunk pony was rescued from a swimming pool after gorging on fermented apples and falling into the water.

The pony, called Fat Boy, broke in to Sarah Penhaligon's garden in Newquay, Cornwall, to get to the fruit, which had fallen from trees.

He ate so many apples that he became confused.

He looks so pissed off in that photo.

I'd be pissed if some assclown gave me that name, too! Poor horsie!

Yes, quite undignified for a rotund equine, I agree.

Who do you call when there's a horse stuck in your swimming pool?

One of the great mysteries of life, indeed. *g* Glad everyone came out of it okay.

In one of the articles that featured this story they commented that the extra fat on the pony helped keep him warm in the water. *g*

That's just an awesome story all around.

Yes, it made me smile quite a bit today.

That is possibly the best thing to be linked from my friendslist ever.

Love the quote from the pony's owner -- she thought it was a sea monster!

Thank you.

Hee. My favorite is "He ate so many apples that he became confused." Honestly, could happen to anyone.
