Martyn and Elaine Booth called in last night to see their horse Mr Brinkley out in the field.The horses were cold and as a result were playing around and very muddy. They behaved like young kids playing around in mud.. Luckily Mr Brinkley was well behaved and appreciated a visit from his owners.

'Your Honour,' she began coolly, 'I figured that at 92, if he could screw, he could fly.'
