H&H Article - Horse escapes into living area of lorry!!

I've had it with a 12.2hh pony, except he decided to do it whilst the lorry was in motion! we were travelling with the door between horse area and living open as it was an extremely hot day and I had the living windows cracked open to give more air flow.
He was in the partition next to the ramp with anouther horse in the middle partition, he snapped his bailer twine, went under partition (the area where the jocket goes in and out) and under the nose of the other horse, into the living and then decided to stick his head through the cut-through into the cab!
My lorry is noisey so i didnt hear him and almost had a heart attack when a little chestnut head came into my field of vision and helped himself to my crisps!

I've never seen my mum move quite so quick! Pulled up at the side of the motorway, backed him into the first partition and closed the door!!
 
What an amazing story! Bet your jaw fell open when you saw the pony. I used to have a '76 Bedford and it was a so noisy that I had to almost shout to be heard, so I can see how it could possibly happen to not hear a pony coming up behind you. Glad your story didn't end in your pony being injured :-)
 
I was driving and nigh on had a heart attack! The 12.2hh pony was a typical welshie far too canny to injure himself on anything!
My lorry is ancient and very noisy at the best of times! But with all the windows open on the motorway (it was extremely hot and we were trying to get as much airflow as possible!) there was no way I would have heard him anyway. Could barely hear my mum when she was shouting!
 
My mare had a very similar shaped star to that naughty boy. I bet he is part Welsh too. I like the comment about his desire for cheesy chips and ketchup - my girl once stole a bit out of someones cheese pie and chips. Denied it all of course, but the pastry crumbs in her whiskers and a bit of chip in her forelock were a bit of a giveaway!
