The cat – or rather the horse – is out of the bag



A new scientific study reports that horses can plan ahead and think logically. The leisurely study was done at a canter. Accordingly your intrepid Newsbiscuit reporter has investigated, interviewing Dobbin – a spokeshorse for NEMOS – the National Equine Management and Operatives Society.


'To be honest, although things were okay, an increasing large herd of us were getting bored doing the same old things – such as riding around and around in circles with a midget on our back. No wonder Shergar done a runner. Mind you we were not enthused about the rumpus regarding the recent equestrian training 'scandal'. Plenty of Tory MPs would pay good money for a bit of S & M like being whipped by a woman wearing leather boots.'


'Unfortunately our planning and logical thinking automatically rules us out of certain professions – such as politics and TV sports reporting.'


'We will also not work in pantomime - or in a glue factory.'


'Anyway we’ll still be happy as long as we still get our oats – know what I mean? Keep the hay flowing and no-one will be writing 'Red Rum' in blood on the walls. Why the long face? I trust this will be a fair and balanced interview – you don’t want to wake up in bed with my head next to you, do you??'


Dobbin terminated the interview suddenly, saying 'I've got to be in Newmarket by 4.15.'
