Stoned Ponies Open for Rolling Stones

A troupe of performing horses are to be given sedatives to help them cope with a Rolling Stones gig.

The horses will be in the stadium for the Stones concert at the Hippodrome in the Serbian capital Belgrade on July 14.

The animals live at the stadium where they make regular performances for locals, and managers at the stadium say they have no other place to move them before the concert, so they will have to stay.

Hippodrome director Jovanka Prelic said: “We are not too worried, although it is not ideal, but they survived NATO bombings so I guess they will survive the Rolling Stones, and in any case, we will give them drugs to make sure they do not get too upset.”
