A rider took his pony Sparky to a McDonald's drive-thru in Wychbold, Worcestershire, and staff were left surprised but served them with nuggets, fries and apple slices for the pony. The pair then enjoyed a picnic in Hanbury Woods on the way home, and the video of the trip was widely enjoyed online.
