A loved-up pair of Shetland ponies have donned specially-designed festive jumpers for Christmas Racing Weekend at Ascot.
Daffy and Daphne allegedly fell ‘head over hoof’ for each other after a lucky chance encounter, and spent the day in their festive outfits together.
“Daffy was getting a bit lonely in his stables, so it’s lovely that Ascot has helped find him a new companion and made them matching Christmas outfits,” said Daffy’s owner, Jackie Rowberry.
“Daffy and Daphne will enjoy a lovely Christmas together and I couldn’t be happier for them.”

Ascot is calling on racegoers to follow the couple’s lead and don their festive finery for Christmas Racing Weekend.
