A horse racing trainer loves to trot to the pub for a pint - on his ZEBRA. Bill Turner bought 14-month-old Zebedee for £4,500 from a Dutch game reserve.
Bill, 61, said: "He loves being ridden and it means I don't have to worry about being breathalysed."
Zebras are notoriously difficult to break in but the former jump jockey soon coaxed Zebedee to accept a bridle and saddle. In less than three weeks Bill was riding his new mount round his farm.
Bill said: "They say zebras are so hard to train because they don't have any brains and panic easily. Zebedee gave me a hard time at first, coming at me with his front feet and also biting. But I just treated him with total kindess."
Next stop was his local, the King's Arms near Sherborne, Dorset.
Bill said: "It's a mile and a half to the pub and Zebedee pricks up his ears every time we go. The RSPCA says its OK to ride him."
Well, if the RSPCA approves....
