A New Jersey man was spotted shopping in his neighborhood this week with the help of a real-life little pony friend.
The unidentified shopper – filmed with his own little Mister Ed at a Wegmans supermarket in Woodbridge – is not going to cause trouble.
According to NJ Patch, he said he has mobility issues and has to rely on the miniature horse — a registered service animal — when he goes out shopping.
The man said he often brings horses to Woodbridge stores, including ShopRite and Lowe’s, the outlet saidWho first reported the story.
“I really don’t like the attention that I’m getting, and I’m trying to remove (a video circulating on social media),” the shopkeeper, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Patch on Friday. “People are commenting that they are going to steal the horse. I will have to take legal action.”

the commentator quipped anais josette: “I love it! The only two animals recognized by the ADA are a dog or a miniature horse and I never thought I’d see that 🤣🤣🤣”
“Why am I never at Wegmans when good things happen!” expressed regret at dwrght1981,
Woodbridge police — who confirmed to Patch that the four-legged friend is allowed to stay in the store because it is a service animal — did not return messages from The Post on Friday.
“It’s a miniature horse and according to the rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act, they can be service animals,” Woodbridge Police Director Robert Hubner told the outlet.
A Wegmans employee told The Post that the horse was in the store and is actually a service animal, but any further questions “will have to go through corporate.”
