V.T.O.L.


We often get to see Harrier Jets streaking past low level here, sometimes we are higher than the planes. Its quite a thrill.
Equally amazing is this little shitland pony, not that you can tell by looking at the photo, he seem innocent enough. But this is where you would be wrong, this is The Pocket Rocket, our feisty miniature horse called Trevor. Take a moment to look at the picture and note the fence, the fence next to him, the fence that is level with his shoulders, the one that's in effect as tall as he is.

He has just jumped it, probably because he thinks the grass is greener this side, more likely so he can bother the other two, William and Apollo.

Not an easy jump for a 33 inch high plump pony, especially as his approach was an uphill run.

Perhaps the Pocket Rocket has been hiding V.T.O.L ability.
