Punch drunk horse


Fat Boy struggles to get out - Image from Dailymail

If you are drunk and you go by the name of Fat Boy then its surely not a healthy combo. Poor Fat Boy the horse paid the price for it. The 12 year old Moorland pony, who lives in a riding school in Newquay, England, suddenly had the urge to eat apples. So he broke away from his stables, slunk into his neighbor Sarah Penhaligon's backyard and began gorging on a heap of rotting apples on the ground. The fruit had started fermenting and Fat Boy was soon seeing stars from a high. A drunken Fat Boy lost his footing and lurched with a big splash into Sarah's swimming pool. Hearing the noise Sarah came out to investigate and saw Fat Boy desperately trying to make his way out. Finally, she dialled Emergency and firefighters hoisted him out of the pool with several harnesses after they built a set of hay steps. The entire process took two hours during which, Sarah fed him more apples to keep him calm. He is reportedly dealing with his "morning after."

About This Blog

I love nature and animals and this blog is my view of the lighter side of life found in animal capers. I also try to do my bit by writing about endangered animals. Apart from that I want the blog to be useful and informative, so I include some interesting fossil discoveries by trying not to sound too scientific! I hope this blog is interesting enough to leave a comment!
