Neigh bother: woman fined for dragging incontinent horse into McDonald's

Insert 'horse outside' pun here.

Yesterday evening in Manchester, a woman tried to go through the drive-through at McDonalds without a car.

She had a horse instead - and was told that's not allowed.

So, naturally, she brought the horse inside the restaurant, where it went to the toilet all over the floor.

"The fast-food chain do not allow horse riders to use the drive-thru in the saddle due to health and safety reasons," the Manchester Evening News, who covered the story, explains.

"The policy was introduced over fears that safety of staff and customers could be put at risk if a horse is spooked by a car."

Makes sense. In any event, the police were called and the woman was issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice, which is basically a fine that you can agree to pay instead of going to court.

We'd pay the fine: the judge probably wouldn't understand. They probably should have just left the Horse Outside.
