Driver fined for forcing pony into hatchback
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch police have fined the driver of a small hatchback car after spotting a Shetland pony crammed in the back, police say.



"The small Shetland pony had no room to move and his head was pressed against the window," police said on Thursday. A woman on the back seat held the animal by a rope.


Police fined the 42-year-old German driver of the Volkswagen Polo 220 euros (150 pounds) for improper transport of the animal, just bought on a local Dutch market.


"Once the driver has obtained an export certificate, the pony can go to Germany," police said.

1. Sounds like my great Dane in the back of my hatch back
He took up the whole seat and always had a group around when I went out with him. He loved that seat and the ride.
