Oh boy! Peggy the horse banned from pub!!!


A Tyneside pub has called time on one of its regular visitors after the premises were refurbished. 

Peggy, a 12-year-old mare, used to enjoy a pint of beer and a packet of crisps alongside her owner at the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow. 

However, she is no longer allowed to prop up the bar following a refit which included new carpets. 

The horse still accompanies her owner, Peter Dolan, on his trip to the pub but has to stay tethered outside. 

Landlady Jackie Gray said: "Although she is probably cleaner than some of my customers, I had to put my foot down and show her the door." 

Mr Dolan, a 62-year-old retired oil rigger, said: "People come into the pub and the first thing they say is 'Where's Peggy?' 

"I tell them she's kicked the habit and is teetotal now."
