Ten sad-looking Shetland ponies were found in a night-mare position after astonished traffic cops stopped a dodgy-looking white van at a service station.
The shocked traffic cops were left amazed when the routine search of the van revealed the secret supply of horsepower hidden inside.
In an even more absurd twist, the drivers – on their way to Romania when they were stopped at Offenbach, Germany – claimed they’d had no idea they had livestock on board.
“The van’s windows were completely steamed up, we know now because of the ponies’ breathing and the officers had a hunch it just looked wrong,” said a police spokesman.

Gandalf the Great Grey Owl gets scared flying out in the open so his owners have built his aviary inside a brick shed.
He now spends his days watching the world go by out of his window.
“He is a bit of a wuss as he doesn’t like flying in big open spaces,” said owner Janet Southard, who runs the Wild Arena photography company, based inside Knowsley Safari Park near Liverpool.
“When we moved here we put him in the shed temporarily while we built his aviary outside.
