"The small Shetland pony had no room to move and his head was pressed against the window," police said yesterday. A woman on the back seat held the animal by a rope.
Police fined the 42-year-old German driver of the Volkswagen Polo 220 euros (150 pounds) for improper transport of the animal, just bought on a local Dutch market.
"Once the driver has obtained an export certificate, the pony can go to Germany," police said.
