JARROW, England (UPI) -- A horse has become a regular at a pub in the
north of England.
Peggy, a 12-year-old cart horse, likes bitter beer and pickled onion
chips, Sky News reported.
Jackie Gray, who recently took over the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow near
Newcastle, said Peggy was a shock the first time she saw it. But she
has gotten used to the horse.
"She's no bother when she's in," Gray told Sky News.
Peter Dolan, Peggy's owner, used to tie her up outside. But one day
Peggy, on a rope that was too long, followed him into the bar and he
quickly learned that the horse had a taste for bitter.
"Peggy's no bother at all," he said to Sky News. "Most of the regulars
know her as she's been coming in here for years and for them Peggy's a
bit of a novelty. She's a proper lady. Sometimes she's better than
some of the ladies we get in here.".
