MPX5124627: Tip for all anglers... the ponies are biting really well. This wasn't exactly the bite that angler Ian Prytherch hoped for when he set out for a day's sport on Dartmoor Devon. But it was the only sort he got all day. Ian who is 15 had hardly cast his line when he caught this pony...nosing in his lunch bag. Lured by the smell of a freshly baked Cornish Pasty. Later Ian tried eating an apple. He ended up sharing it with the persistent pony and swiftly departed for a new fishing ground, 24th October 1968 (b/w photo) / Bridgeman Images
