What do the neigh-bours think!
Daily Mail
My children’s favourite thing to do is to have tea parties in our house with their teddies and our titchy Shetland pony, Jack — yes, really!
I was taking him for a walk one day, realised I’d left my mobile phone in the house so nipped in to get it and he followed me in, did a lap of the kitchen and looked very much at home.
It really tickled me so I kept letting him in after that. He’s even been known to sit and watch the horse racing on TV with my husband (who rolls his eyes at the madness of it all) and once joined us for a dinner party.
