    Pub calls time on equine regular





    A Tyneside pub has called time on one of its regular visitors after the premises were refurbished.
    Peggy, a 12-year-old mare, used to enjoy a pint of beer and a packet of crisps alongside her owner at the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow.
    However, she is no longer allowed to prop up the bar following a refit which included new carpets.
    The horse still accompanies her owner, Peter Dolan, on his trip to the pub but has to stay tethered outside.
    Landlady Jackie Gray said: "Although she is probably cleaner than some of my customers, I had to put my foot down and show her the door." Mr Dolan, a 62-year-old retired oil rigger, said: "People come into the pub and the first thing they say is 'Where's Peggy?' "I tell them she's kicked the habit and is teetotal now."

    What's the world comming to when you can't take your horse into a pub for a drink.. :(

    Of course, in a French pub they wouldn't be giving it a drink, they'd have been washing it down with one. :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,831 ✭✭✭Slow Motion


    This is ridiculus! The horse didn't even get an infraction before the banning! Take it to feedback!








    I was hoping to horshoe a bad pun into my post but couldn't think of one!:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭jebuz


    Of horse the ponly reason she got barred was mare-ly because she's not a person, hoof makes these laws, its trot fair

    Someone really needs to call a halter to this thread and put it out to pasture!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,231 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Yes, I think it's gone farrier enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,231 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    I think we should have a Gallup Poll to see whether it's worth carrying on this thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    Your enjoying your pint of Guinness and the horse starts crapping all over the place...durty.
