Pit Pony
« on: Monday 29 December 08 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Can someone help this poor pit pony to look better.
He was working in the mines about the 60's and needs a spruce up.
Many thanks.

Hi and all The Best For The New  Year.  ;D

It's No wonder we Inport All or Most Of our coal from  Down Under .

With Pit  Pony's Feet. That Big. We  in England Would Struggle to find Shire horses. With Plates of Meat. (Feet)  That Big, to crush Our Coal.

But  our Pony's only pulled plough's
