To think ponies don't belong in upstairs flats?

[CatthiefKeith]

I have just read a post on my local FB page a post about a horse being ridden bare back through the local town.

The thread then details with people asking if that's the horse that lives in an upstairs flat in xxxxx town. Apparently it is derelict and someone keeps their pony there.

Then the owner rocked up and said yes, it was fine, she'd phoned the RSPCA and there was no problem.

Really? Surely horses need to graze?

maybe its a rocking horse

Eh?

Horses go down stairs? No, they don't really manage them well.

They can go up ok.

A bit like Daleks

Maybe it likes the view?

She's probably lying about having called the RSPCA in order to stop others doing so. I very much doubt they'd be happy with a horse living inside.

I can't link, it's a private group, but I have helpfully taken screen shots.

Indeed Laurie:

Yeah i doubt she's cleared it with anyone. Who owns the building? Probably not her! And i doubt the owner knows. Is she a traveller?

I immediately thought of The Commitments.

Doesn't a horse get led out of the lift?

I bet the neigh-bours are not happy.

The situation is not stable.

I don't think you should link real names on MN

I thought of into the west!

It appears nobody knows who owns the flat.

I 100% do not believe that the RSPCA said, 'yeah, great, keep a pony in an upstairs flat why don't you.'

Shit. You are right usual, I will ask for the pics to be deleted.

I just didn't think anyone would believe me without them

Unless the page is a private group then thy have posted on a publicly available internet site. They cant really complain if it is shared elsewhere on the internet. Obviously if its a private group then different story.

I 100% believe that what happens on Facebook should stay on Facebook.

The rest is horses for courses.

It's a private group.

Ok, am I the only one who's first thought was Karl Pilkington Horse-in-the-house story?

And yes OP it is insane to keep a pony in an upstairs flat. Everyone knows they should only be kept in downstairs flats.

Ahh then fair enough, OP get those photos gone!

Someone's gonna be for the puissance.

Nay, Keith, you've really got the bit between your teeth.

etc etc.

If the flats are derelict and abandoned, then why keep the horse upstairs?

Maybe there are no doors and the horse would run out but cant use the lift on his own

ROAR at unable to use lift unaccompanied.
