A little Shetland pony, eating' out her days in a paddock at Harby, Nottinghamshire, is believed to be the oldest horse in England. Dot, pet of the Gibbs family, is known,to be at least forty-nine. She may be older. When she walks she looks like a funny little old man, for her legs curve outward and her heels' cross. She wobbles along looking as if she is going to topple over any moment — but she never does. She is as tough as an Eskimo, and she has one adoring and devoted friend. Prince, a bay cob, is her constant companion. He refuses Ito share a paddock with anyone but Dot. When they want to bring him in they have to bring Dot in and he follows.
