OK then, what is going on here? Answers in an email please!

I've shown this picture around the office this morning, and absolutely nobody can shed any light on this weird one horsepower contraption. Someone suggested that the picture was taken in Holland, and that what we are seeing is the latest exhibit being delivered to the Amsterdam Sex Museum. But in actual fact the photo was taken in Cambridgeshire.

Exactly how does it work? Is there some sort of pedal thing going on here, or are the horse's feet on the floor in a Flintstones-type arrangement?

Now for the most surprising thing of all- the year. Incredibly inventor Philip Barnes built 'Horsical Mania' in 1984!

The Kiwis will no doubt come up with a sheep powered version, wonder why Rod hasnt spotted it at Mystery Creek.

The special version for New Zealand and Welsh operators...with a sheep is available....

Man ure sitting to close to the exhaust.
The harmful emission in those days was probably equiNOx?
Could it be an early prototype of the Hyundai Pony?
