Has anyone seen this story ??? Manrides zebra to local pub ??!!!lol

There's quite a long post about it further down (might be on 2nd page now).

I feel quite sorry for the poor Zebra, it's only 14months old!

i didnt really read it right , I read it as it was 14 months old when he bought it , i assumed he must have broken it in , and be riding it now , at about 4 or so .

It said rspca said its ok to ride him , how can they say that about a 14month old zebra !!!

poor zebra !!xxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Aww, that is rotten. Am a total novice (and the OP of the other stripy thread after seeing some old pics and getting curious) but even I can see that saddle is a terrible 'fit'. Not to mention the age of the animal (14months = half grown according to one of those articles!) and the size of the rider... TBH I hope the RSPCA (& whoever else) are keeping a close eye. Perhaps the chap is getting a little too, erm, 'eccentric' in his old age (looks way more than the 51 they say...)
 
It looks 14 months to me. I'm no expert but i've seen plenty of zebras on tv etc and that doesn't look like a full grown one. I put a reply on the article but it's not been posted. I don't understand why at all, it wasn't offensive.
 
hell no - that poor little mite is just a baby. The video shows he is just a baby - he's even got a baby face. Beautiful little boy should be in a herd of his on kind, not being riden by some big headed horse trainer. I'd like to know if he'd have the bottle to try this with an adult zebra.
 
My OH cut the story out of one of the scottish papers for me to see. I love Zebras. If I had a zebra, I would call her Debra.

Anyway, the one in the paper is just a baby at 14 months, in the picture where he is being ridden, the zebra has only baby teeth. I think he is riding the zebra too young. I also do not think it is appropriate to ride an animal to the pub just so it is possible to get drunk and not get breathalysed.
