Zorse - Half Horse Half Zebra

Spotted on a walk in Bestwood Country Park this afternoon. Half horse Half Zebra ... a Zorse !!!

No horses or Zebra's were hurt in the making of this photo, I just pointed my camera (Sony RX100 VII) close to the Zorse, had a chat with it and clicked away while the Zorse munched on the grass. I could feel it breathing on my hand

Horsey horsey don't you stop,
Just let your feet go clippetty clop,
The tail goes swish and the wheels go round,
Giddy up, we're homeward bound.

A very stylish horse coat !
Ha ! What will the next generation bring I wonder ..?

Just happened to be looking in on 365 in passing and saw this. Haha! Well spotted and caught. :-)
Good gracious, Phil, I haven't heard that song in years; we're both showing our ages here, I think. :-D

@phil_howcroft it's great to hear that it's still sung! It's a song I knew in my childhood and loved. I used to hear it played on Children's Favourites, a record request show that was aired on the then Light Programme with 'Uncle Mac' (real name Derek McCullock) spinning the discs.
According to Wikipedia it was written in 1937 and it's the chorus of a longer song which I must have heard too but don't remember.

Oh, he must be in a ditch or similar. At first sight I thought you had captured the head and neck and transposed them on the grass. He's a lovely guy, never seen a Zorse in my life. Superb close up capture.

Zorse…well that’s a new name & one that Willow will take as her own! I vaguely remember that song too, I know the tune in my head.
