Shetland pony uninjured after riding shotgun during SUV crash at 11th Avenue and 6th Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota

It’s hard to separate a man from his pony. So deep does one man’s love for his Shetland run that he presumably couldn’t bear to be apart from his thick-maned friend while driving around Minneapolis. On Saturday morning, Minneapolis police responded to a reported car crash at 11th Avenue and 6th Street. They arrived to find an unusual passenger riding shotgun in one of the vehicles — a miniature horse. The crash is still under investigation, but it doesn’t appear that the man was simply distracted by the pony’s adorable mug. At the cops’ discretion, the driver did not receive a citation for rolling around town with a pony in his car.
