It transpires that this chap is a member of the Irish "Travelling" community.

Hence the desire to get to Hollyhead & the ferry to Ireland I suspect.

A pikey.... we should have guessed.

Not sure Stena or Irish Ferries would have been keen to let him on either.

I am a saggitarius me. Half horse
Thats why , when I pooed in the street the other week, they couldnt arrest me

Could they arrest half of you?

Hence the long face.



What lucky fellah got the other half?

That's why they don't need any extra.

You probably know that horses still have the right of way on a public highway, but did you know that if you hit one, even if it's out of control, you are liable for damages to it if you hit the thing?

The more I see of this the more I'm amazed at how calm the pony is. Your average Shetland is bolshie when it's in a good mood and a liability when it's pissed off. The fatc that this one is wandering about apparently taking all this in it's stride is mindboggling.

They are indeed vicious buggers, and will kick you just for the hell of it.

But I thought trains had horse power?

I wonder what that man was thinking... did he really think it was going to be ok to put the horse on the train?

Totally bonkers

Waiting to get served by people working in the public sector helps one develop patience.

It's a train trained horse trained in a train training ground.

And then he said, 'I dont care WHO is coming to meet you boyo, you are not getting on the train'

And it's OK to sit on them and force them to run in circles to the point of exhaustion. Well, maybe not ponies, but horses anyway.

And yet it's completely acceptable to pack 20+ people into the area by the doors on a commuter train. Where is the RSPCM when you need them.

Meanwhile, the RSPCA said of the station incident it was "not a safe nor acceptable manner in which to transport an equine."

The plot thickens

More images have emerged of places visited by a mystery man and his pony, including a hospital A&E department and a pub.
