Pony Meets Racing Wheelchair

On our afternoon amble round the block there were two things of interest to watch. One was a young lady I occasionally see in her racing wheelchair going North and a pony and trap going South. Before long the two met up and then things got interesting. The pony decided it wasn't amused and wanted to turn round. Not an easy manoeuvre in traffic.

The wheelchair user had stopped and asked the trap driver whether she should wait but he asked her to continue. Eventually the trap driver dismounted and led the pony while the wheelchair and other traffic passed by:

Then he was able to safely continue on his journey:

Penny doesn't bother about horses and ponies and is content to watch and wait while I take a few photos.

  2. The Romanies can be a pain with their ponies. A great sequence of shots.
