Man tries to take pony on train

wonderfulname

The commuter arrived at the station in North Wales and tried to buy a ticket for himself and the animal for the 7.02pm service from Wrexham to Holyhead.
Despite being told that large animals were not allowed in the carriages, he put the pony into a lift and took it down to the platform.
It is not known why he wanted to transport the animal on the train.
The man eventually left the station - with his pony - when he was not allowed to board the service.
Arriva Trains Wales has released CCTV of the incident, which took place last Saturday.
A spokeswoman said: "We allows dogs and small animals to travel on board trains.
"All animals, except dogs, must be conveyed within a fully-enclosed basket or pet carrier with dimensions not exceeding 85cm x 60cm x 60cm.
"Large animals, including horses and ponies, which may pose a risk to the general public, are not permitted to travel."

Surely thats discrimination.

The article says the train was going to Holyhead, so it's fair to assume the pony was being brought to the HSS, and over to the Smithfield market.

In that case I hope the owner brought him a bulletproof saddle.

This guys just fantastic - the daily mail has him at two pubs and an A&E Dept and are scraping the barrel on puns;

Why the long face? The man is caught on CCTV taking his horse into the Accident and Emegency department at Wrexham Maelor Hospital because it was 'sick'

Why the long face? The man was refused a pint by pub staff when he took his white horse in - and 24 hours later they refused entry altogether

It doesn't look too good for the pony though, RSPCA and the local council are after her, though to be honest I think yer man could do with some help too.

The King of Moo

I hope the pony didn't put its dirty hooves up on its table..

Son Of A Vidic

There was NAY chance he'd get away with that.

Guy just misunderstood what his boss meant when he said: 'Train the pony'.

Super-Rush

Be a fair horse to pull one of those carriages.

take everything

Was this a non-smoking thing?
Fascists.

The King of Moo

This is hands down one of the zaniest things I've seen today.

Saila

durty bastard :eek:
but what was the horse doing on there in the first place

Kojak

I wonder would they have served the horse in the dining car?

Super-Rush

Someone was finally bringing the horse to France.

The King of Moo

I'm sure he would've made sure the pony was ok whinny got on the train.

take everything

The pony was due to do an interview but couldn't cos he was a little horse.

Equine laziness is on the rise it would seem:

From the video, it looks like it's the pony leading the man, as a hostage, onto the train. I think this is plausible.

I love Americans like these ones. No editorialisation or opinion on the matter. Just a running commentary of everything they see and do in life.
