Nancy Thompson travelled in style to Priory School's prom in Shrewsbury

Nancy and her pony Kitty turned heads among friends at The Priory School.

The 16-year-old said her sister did the same with a different pony six years ago which gave her the idea for this year’s event at Albrighton Hall

Nancy said: “My sister Martha did it six years ago on a different horse.

“We have three ponies, but Kitty is mine. I rode her from the bottom of the lane to the hall.

“Everyone turned around when I arrived and said I looked like a princess, which was really nice.

"Everyone loved Kitty and people were walking up to her and stroking her.”
