A lady buys a pub and in walks a horse. This is just too perfect to be true, but let’s pretend that it is until someone proves otherwise.

Peggy the horse is a regular at the bar in the Alexandra Hotel.

Jackie Gray recently became landlady at the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow, Tyneside.

She says she got a pleasant surprise when carthouse Peggy joined owner Peter Dolan for a pint.

The 12-year-old’s tipple is a pint of John Smiths and pickled onion crisps.

Mrs Gray said: “When I bought the pub a few weeks ago I heard rumours that one of the regulars was a horse but I didn’t quite believe them. It was a hot day when the horse came in and I was shocked at first because I have never run a pub before.”
