A tiny pony who's allergic to carrots is looking for a new driving home.

Dinky, a Dartmoor-cross mare, is just 10.3hh and was broken to pull a cart earlier this year at Bristol's HorseWorld in Whitchurch.

The charity is looking for someone experienced in driving to take Dinky on loan.

Sasha Holden, HorseWorld's equine training manager, said: "It's very unusual to have a pony who can't eat carrots so potential loaners would need to be really careful not to feed them to her.

"She hasn't had the best of lives up until now and is looking for a special home to care for her and to enjoy driving her."
