Very funny but very clever. Also loved the (serious) pictures of the pit ponies. I didn't know they wore special hard shoes so I even learned something too!

[@MrConan89]

They are called horse shoes. I worked with pit ponies in the 1960/70s. They were well looked after.

[@danielthomas3333]

Howard McKay I’m surprised that they wore horseshoes because of the potential for sparks

[@AmyClerk996]

When I retire I'm gonna live in the forest

[@nasipkismet2436]

At the end after they lose their health and power, they would be sent to a slaughterhouse. What a great way to thank them !

Not much different to the miners of old.

[@sicks6six]

MMMmmm, the pit i worked at we had about 90 ponies and they had a working life of 5 years, 6 months training then down the pit, when they were retired they were often bought by miners who took them home for their kids to look after, the few that did not were bought by people who looked after them until they reached that time all horses reach eventually, a lot of inner city farms bought them, I never heard of any pony working untill retirement then being destroyed, the NCB at the pit I worked at had stables and fields for them until suitable homes could be found, that didn't take long as there was a waiting list for them, the potential new owners were carefully chosen, the NCB employed someone who job was to rehome them, this was during the 1970s & 1980s, before that I cant comment about how they were retired but in all mining communities pit ponies could seen in fields everywhere.

Not in the UK they weren't, ponies retired to pasture.

Ethan Ayriss you shouldn't be disrespecting pony's that entered the pits. Many of them died in a very sad and sexual death
