Drunken pony stumbles into swimming pool

A drunken pony and a swimming pool were never going to be a great combination, and so it proved for the little fellow named Fat Boy.

British media are revelling in the tale of 12-year-old Fat Boy, who gorged himself on fermented windfall apples and then staggered across the garden and into the swimming pool in Cornwall.

The pool was shallow enough not to pose a problem for Fat Boy, but firefighters were called to get him out.

The owner of the property was awoken by the splash and discovered Fat Boy's plight. She dialled emergency services.
Fat Boy was checked over by a vet and found to be OK.

The little fellow has yet to give any interviews – at least not until the hangover has worn off.
