Ride, Sarah, ride:
The girl, Sarah Friedson, 17, walked her chocolate-colored pony, Cocoa, to the school Friday, to celebrate the last day of classes before final exams. She held sign that read “Save Gas” on one side, “Staples 2008” on the other. Her father, Ronald, drove behind them with his blinkers flashing.
The school called police, saying they were concerned for the safety of students.
Westport police said in a written statement that the girl had ignored a security guard and earlier warnings not to bring the animal on school property.
Ronald Friedson said the pony is docile, 20-years-old, and blind in one eye.
“Overkill would be an understatement,” Friedson said Friday night. “This is a 25-year-old pony, who is only dangerous to a carrot.”
