“I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,” said the man at the petrol station. “Is it raining out there?”“No,it’s pretty nice,” I replied,checking my sleeve. “Oh,right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”
As it happened,the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor,and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him.
The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods,despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies,tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car,and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift (迁移).
The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked,the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mother’s milk
