The story and a picture of the first horse

President Bill Clinton has purchased yet another pet for the White House to keep his cat and dog company. A 14 year old horse was delivered to the White yesterday. Mr Clinton took the afternoon off to ride the new arrival which he has named "Missie". Mr Clinton did not allow the press to attend his first encounter with Missie. He said, "She needs some time to settle into her new home, but she's a beautiful beast and quite a challenge to ride. Hillary is still not convinced this is a good idea but she knows how important riding horses is to me." The photograph (attached) of Missie was kindly provided by her breeder.
