The man in the photograph above lives near me, and I pass his house most days when I'm walking the dog. The pony (who doesn't have a name), has been his sole form of transport for the past 10 years. Every single day I have seen man and pony sauntering down a lane.Over the past few weeks I've seen the man many times, but no pony. I'm afraid to ask!
When I first moved to Spain, horses, mules, donkeys and oxen were a common sight. Seven years ago in my small village there were 5 mules, 2 horses and the pony above, now we're down to 1 horse and 1 mule. Que sera, sera!
